I’ve been sharing for over 2 years to get ready to “surrender all outer attachments”.  In LIGHT of what has happened economically,  I’m posting this again.  I give ‘fair’ warning, anything having to do with a “credit rating” is an outer attachment.  Continuing to hold onto to this outer attachment will only bring more loss and hardship, as credit card holders are drained of life energy.  Be AWARE when making choices.

Reports are also streaming in, that within a few years, over 70% of the children in the US will be using Food stamps and have inadequate health care, with numbers approaching 90% in the adult category needing these services.  It has been stated that the population in the US will be experiencing the worst case of physical deprivation seen in many lifetimes.

We will continue to be offered motivation and opportunities to shift our values…, until we do.  Once we shift, then things will get better and not before.

“I Have”

Things of Value I Carry with Me

The Law of Love & Attraction. Obviously, I had issues with what I was and had been, attracting, as far as experiences went. Same ole’ story, over and over and over. And I didn’t especially like it. Enough is as good as a feast, already.

I could understand the magnetism of what I was attracting on a Quantum level but, honestly, what did Love have to do with it?

Then it hit me, I had chosen to Love the lack of it. Of all things, me, blindsided when it came to Values. That’s when I became the proverbial bull in a china shop. The china shop being the Values I had been serving. That I was now mindless in rattling as my inner life came crashing down, as insubstantial as a house of cards.

One time later in my story my Husband suggested I give away my secret formula for miracles. Just charge a hell of a lot for postage and handling. I disregarded his statement about postage and handling, knowing he was just being a rascal. But his statement that I had a secret formula puzzled me. I didn’t know I knew a formula, secret or otherwise, for miracles.

Then he quoted my own words back to me.

“Values I carry with me where ever I go.”

Oh, I thought, that formula. ‘That’s a formula?’, I asked him, somewhat thrown off by the utter blatancy that had escaped me, unnoticed. Him, being him, just let me chew on it for a while, letting me digest what he had said. It required I take a trip down memory lane, to when I first asked myself to make a list of:

Values I carry with me where ever I go.

I remembered my list. I also remembered how insecure a person I was when I made it.

I listed things like:

Money

Credit card

Debit card

Safety deposit box key. (which held a whole ‘nother list)

The next question I asked myself was, ‘how much time did I spend absorbed with these things?’

Stark realization began to sink in. I spent a LOT of time focused on these things, protecting these things and, trying to accumulate more. Why, my feelings of worth and security, were tied to these and other, things.

Things I could get using various means. I never did resort to outright thievery. I learned about working for what I desired. I also learned how to cajole and manipulate through guilt. Blaming other people for how I felt and, doing my best to try to make them feel guilty for me feeling that ‘not happy’ way. Among the things that I counted on the most, was getting other people to agree with me.

I looked at my list. Things I could get.

Things that not only could be got, but could also be taken. Which led me face to face with one of my greatest fears. Loss. Loss of the things and loss of the ability to get more.

A panorama of my life opened up before me. It almost made me nauseous.

I could get alright. But in that getting, I never did have. I had spent countless moments pursuing objects of my affection, that once acquired, never had led to any firm or secure sense of anything. Worth or loved. What I had created instead, was a solid sense of being able to acquire and to fight to keep.

And it took a lot of effort.

Being Honest with mySelf, I’m like a train to get moving. I gather momentum as I go. That makes it easy to plough through barricades in my way without any extra effort. I asked my momentous Self what was the purpose of all this revving of engines if I never arrived at a destination? Perpetual motion was exhausting. Especially when it took everything I got, to keep going. Aha! Give and take…equals a net of zero.

I finally grasped it.

My previous list had been a list of things I could get. Had got. And showed my potential for getting even more.

Look at me! I’m a go-getter. Barreling down the tracks.

With my one track mind fueled by all my insecurities.

My inner world reeled as I came to a complete stop in my thinking. That‘s when my life started to resemble a train wreck as far as appearances went.

‘Things of Value I carry with me where ever I go.’

Where had I invested my sense of worth?

OUTSIDE of myself, that’s where. In things. In Objects. In achievements. I saw where this train of thought had led. To an endless series of competitions as a racing rat of an engine. How cheesy.

Oh, by all appearances I certainly wouldn’t have been considered even close to poor, yet, it was all a screen. A fake store front. It provided an appearance of a person of worth. I say ‘fake’ simply because inside my own heart, where it counted, I knew I wasn’t secure. Everything I got, could be taken.

Worse, even if I managed to ‘keep’ whatever I ‘got’, no matter how durable the good, it eventually would return to dust. Even plastic was biodegradable in lava. Depreciation, depletion, amortization, erosion, devaluation, attrition, everywhere I looked was subject to outside influences. Especially time.

Staking my worth and sense of security on anything like this was risky. I’d have to be pretty tricky and inventive to be able to control all these possible outside influences. Even if I somehow managed the ludicrous idea of becoming Heap Big Chief in charge, controlling ’time’ was going to be somewhat of a challenge.

There’s got to be something else, my Intuition told me. I just sensed it. So I asked myself the question again.

‘What Values do I carry with me where ever I go?’

And it was in asking again, that I finally Understood. ‘Getting’ and ‘having’ are different experiences.

What were the qualities of my character? What was inside my Heart? And I began taking an inner inventory this time. An inventory of qualities of character I could call upon at any moment’s notice. Any Where. Any When. Values of a Timeless sort of nature. Understanding, Acceptance, Tolerance, Patience, Compassion, Wisdom and, Forgiveness.

‘They were all there‘, I sighed to myself with a sense of relief. Some in greater supply then others, especially Patience and Trust but, all were there. I Had. I realized I also Had all the Freedom in Life, to Have more. Anytime I desired. Completely independent of anything and anyone else.

Ever since then I’ve lived with a Secure sense of Worth.

Secure in knowing Love is very Attractive.

There’s been another shift.  In case we might not remember, about 2 years ago I shared these shifts were coming in a series.   This one I could call #2.   When #1 came through, our Economy ~changed~.  This time different areas are going to be highlighted, specifically the areas of Equality, Balance, Harmony, Justice and Human Resources.

Basically, if we have drained other people’s energy in order to build our personal realities, then our lives are going to be drained in an equal and like manner.   Our desires thwarted while others’ desires served.   It’s called “Fair” and “Equitable”.   The “quantum flow” has shifted.  It is no longer going in the direction of greatest separation.  It is now flowing towards Unity.

Those of Us who chose to go “against the flow” and Value Unity over the Past, know that the experience can be likened to a salmon swimming upstream.  Now the current has changed,  it is everyone of Us experiencing a dual or polarized reality that is now a salmon, swimming upstream.

First thing I can share to make the trip ease-ier, is to say give up all Hope of the flow going back to the way it used to be.  Quit even so much as wishing or trying to go back to the old ways of living and doing things.  Don’t resist the flow; surrender to it.

Notice the title of this post?  I’m going to use the symbols of numbers, symbols commonly known and understood, as I endeavor to share the Understanding of what is transpiring.

Each and every single one of Us is a “1″.  We’re All individuals.  Whether we end up being a “2″ kind of One or an “11″ kind of One is determined by how we relate to others.

Like apples and oranges, “2′s” form relationships with other “2′s”,  “11′s” form relationships with other “11′s”.   Apples relate to apples, oranges relate to oranges.   “Peas stick your own pod.”  Why?

Because the very pattern of relating itself is different.  The game board looks the same for either chess or checkers.  But if one person sits down to play chess and another to play checkers, they’re not going to get along from the very start.   Such is the same for “11′s” and “2′s”.  We’re all sharing the same World.  We simply all don’t relate to that same World in the same way.

In terms of basic math, all “2′s” form relationships diagrammed like this:  1 + 1 = 2.  All “11′s” form relationships diagrammed like this: 1 + 1 = 11.

Energetically, we can see how this goes, when carried further with more “1′s”.

1 + 1 + 1 = 3; 1 + 1 + 1 = 111.
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4; 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 1,111.

It takes 11 “2′s” to equal the energy of 2 “11′s”.  It takes 111 “2′s” to equal the energy of 3 “11′s”.  It takes 1,111 “2′s” to equal the energy of 4 “11′s”.

Getting the picture?

Humanity as a Race, is evolving into “11′s”.

And subconsciously all “2′s” already know this.   It’s the reason there is so much fear.  How can a “2″ possibly compete with an “11″ for resources?  There is simply no way.

So it sure is a good thing that “11′s” don’t “compete” isn’t it? An “11″ has NO interest in “competition”; an “11″ is only interested in “cooperation”.   “11′s” are Whole Beings…, Integrated Beings…, inter-dimensional Beings.

And “2′s” are not.

“11′s” are Masters of the physical plane

and “2′s” are slaves of it.

The goal and purpose of the “11′s”

is to free all the slaves.

Unlike the Civil War, we’re not going to war.   Oh, “2′s” are welcome to conflict all “2′s” want.  All conflict will do is drain the “2′s” of energy quicker, which serves the purpose of an “11″, {{{too}}}.  Why would an “11″ want to conflict with that?

“11′s” are here witnessing and bringing in “Christ’s 2000 year reign on earth”.  What this simply means, is that all earth realities are being brought into alignment with Greater, Universal Realities.   Earth Humanity is being recognized and accorded Universal citizenship, basically.   So now we have to ‘clean up’ our acts.  There ARE standards to be met, that’s where the “11′s” come in.  “11′s” are teaching the Universal standard through living it and expressing it.

And there’s a lot of work to do.  A lot of “2′s” that caught the preceding shifts got stuck, so there are fewer “11′s” then had been hoped for.  Expansions in awareness were used to glorify and exalt individuals, without the Personalities of those individuals being transformed and purified.  Because the gift of awareness was used for selfish purposes, these individuals were and are, blocked from any further expansions.  They got *stuck* in their own illusions and will remain there, until their Personalities learn how to kneel before the Wisdom of their Universal Self.

Like the Initiation of the Freemasons, a man is brought in blindfolded and led in by a noose around his neck.  The meaning of the Initiation is the admittance of being blind and ignorant, thus the blindfold and the noose.  It’s the reason why I use the  WORD “ignorant” to describe ourselves, even though I know how much it aggravates and annoys our false sense of pride.  It is our false pride that has to be put aside.

Just to be clear about something, I’m not speaking from a perspective of making all the ‘right’ decisions.  I know how much I resisted, unknowingly and unconsciously.   And I barely survived the process.  The way was hard and made even more difficult because it was accomplished in the face of Humanity’s collective momentum of resistance. Now the tables have turned.

And all collective “11′s” are dedicated and devoted to making the path easier on all “2′s” then it was for Us.   UNconditional Love in our hearts for ALL Humanity is our fuel.  That’s what makes an “11″, an “11″.  “2′s” only ‘love’ the “good” part of Humanity, not the “bad”.  “2′s” are limited in Understanding and Compassion for Humanity, while “11′s” are not.

As simply as know how to put it into words, a “2″ is psychologically needy and unbalanced, while an “11″ is not.  A “2″ forms relationships for what We can get out of another person or what they can do for us.  An “11″ forms relationships out of a realization and recognition of qualities of character that are Loving.   Limits in the characters of “2′s” are energetically repulsive to “11′s”.

I thought it would be helpful if I listed the character traits of “2′s” and “11′s”.  It would make it easier to discern the subtle, yet profound differences.  Below is a table.  The middle column is for “11′s”.  The outer columns are  for “2′s”.  Since all “2′s” are off balanced, in order for Universal balance to be maintained, there are always equal numbers of “2′s” off balanced, just in different extremes. That’s why the “2′s” get (2) columns, because “2′s” are polarized, there are just as many (+)’s as (-)’s.  So the columns are read as follows: overbalanced, balanced, underbalanced.

To put it another way, imagine we are all on a great big boat.  The way our world has been going, all the “2′s” are doing nothing more then rocking the boat, being lined up on either side.  “11″s are standing in the middle of the boat and calling out for every “2″ to take one giant step towards the middle of the boat.  All “2′s” that aren’t ready to take that step, are jumping ship.

Here’s the table:

*N.I.C.E:  Neurotic, Insincere, Compulsive, Emotionally dependent

“2’s” are slaves of matter, victims of it, while “11’s” are Masters of matter.  Sovereign creator power is still being accessed by all “2’s”.   It is quite simply, that “2’s” avoid and deny being responsible for individual choices and uses of Willpower. Once we cease attempts at denial, understanding what we’ve been doing to ourselves becomes clear.

While many of Us tried to use our Understanding of the Law of Attraction to create an abundant future, the Wise among us, started studying how we created our lacks in the first place.  It’s kind of like CSS (cascading style sheets).  It does no good to create a new style sheet, without changing the one that is running by default.

Hope this helps.

Get ready for some more rock n roll.

Love,

Sue Ann

Told Us so…

“I withhold my support for any of the teachings.   It’s the same pile of shallow *crap* that’s been circulating the past 10 years.  A lot of chatter from and about our false egos…that’s all it is.”

My comment was directed towards James Ray’s teachings.   I used the phrase “dumbass” in my comment too.  This is the same man who is currently under investigation for conducting a “spiritual warrior” sweat lodge that resulted in 2 people dead and 17 more sent to hospitals.

Reminds me of the group in Colorado around 15 years ago.  In order to bring more light into their minds, they drilled a hole in the top of their heads the size of a quarter.

“A weekend that will truly change your life.”

At least that much was true.

I wouldn’t believe a word coming out of this man’s mouth.

$9000.00?

…

A fool and their money are soon parted.

Updated Friday October 16, 2009:

“This is the most difficult time I’ve ever faced,” Ray told a crowd of about 200 at a hotel in Marina del Rey. “I don’t know how to deal with it really.”

Noticeably LACKING in emotional skills, huh?  Nothing *wrong* with this of course.  It simply reveals a state of both emotional poverty AND spiritual poverty.

“Warrior”, indeed.   Simply the word itself conveys a state of conflict.  And just imagine…having the audacity to claim being able to ‘teach’ “Harmonic Weath”!    Everything about every idea expressed indicates a LACK of any kind of understanding or realization of the ‘spiritual’ or ‘quantum’  planes of existence.   Much less living in HARMONY with those planes of existence.

One time I asked an Indian Shaman the purpose or meaning of ‘animal guides’.  He told me that these guides are necessary in order to carry us across the great void that separates the realms of spirit from the earth.

And I responded, “If I don’t imagine any void of separation then I really don’t need anyone’s or anything else’s help to access the territory at will, do I?”

ANY and ALL of our ideas based on the concept of separation and/or conflict, are of our own making, meaning Man-made and, do not express ANY Realization nor Understanding of Absolute States of Being.

Finally, all the frauds are being exposed…

Reality consists of both positive and negative.  Anytime we focus our will and our desire upon only positive, is the moment we’ve stepped into a fantasy land founded upon wiping out Reality.

And Reality always eventually shows up and wipes out the wiper.

Harmonic Wealth consists of genuine Attributes of character, expressing an Integration of the dimensions.  A Spiritual wealth will be reflected as mental wealth, which is an abundance of ideas; it will be reflected as emotional wealth, which is an abundance of intimate relationships and finally…it will be reflected as physical wealth, which is defined as the “use of” energy, not ownership and possession of it.

Anyone teaching conflict knows nothing of Harmony.

This is an inner weather report.   After a month’s rest from July’s pounding waves, there are some more waves coming in that are going to trigger more shifts.  These shifts are to further our alignment process, setting us into position to move into the “new” lives we have chosen.

I guess our problem is, that a lot of us are clueless to the “new” lives we chose and, have been expecting something altogether different then what will be, similar to Michael Jackson and David Carradine.

I do not know what events will show up in all our individual lives but what I do know is that these events are going to create emotional waves that will build to a crescendo by the end of the week.   By the weekend, inner alarm bells will be ringing to address the issues.   It will not be a wise time to sleep through the alarm or hit the snooze  button.

The issue Is and Will Be, Accountability.  As all the events set into motion will be effects of us choosing to live in denial of it.

Unfortunately for a lot of Us, the Standard of Accountability the issues surround, is one that is relatively unknown and not even usually considered.

But in the future, it most likely will be!

That’s the “good” news, meaning pleasant and wise way of looking at events.

No, it’s not pleasant to find ourselves standing knee deep in our own *poo* but the discovery does lead to desire to start cleaning our acts up.

The Accountability that I’m writing of and about, is the Accountability for the use of Willpower.  Most especially the use of it by those of us in denial of our own.

Accountability simply hasn’t been on the list of qualities we have chosen to value, most especially in the areas of Be-ing mentally and emotionally self disciplined, self governing and self nurturing.    The events that will be manifesting/transpiring, will be to align us with the consequences of our choices in these areas.

For over a decade, I have chosen to withdraw all of my energetic support from any and all of our irrational wishes of a fuzzy bunny lalaland of harps and clouds.  I have been trying to convey in as kind a way as possible, that the Divine Feminine is not a personification of emotional weakness.  It is the Personification of a Loving Will.

We could have chosen ~easy~ but most of us didn’t.  We chose ~easy~ street.  Which is ~easy~ to get to.

Just not ~easy~ to live there.

“Have we been self disciplined or have we depended upon the self discipline of others?”

That is THE key question.

For if we have been self diciplined, responsible and accountable, then times that require it are ~easy~ and if we haven’t been self disciplined, responsible and accountable, then times that require it aren’t.

This is a time of opportunity.

An opportunity of self development.

And for those of us who have never required, nor expected it out of ourselves before, the sooner we do, the sooner our lives will show improvement and progress.

Sometimes the journey is gentle; sometimes it is steep.  The only time it is ~easy~ is when we know we have within Us, whatever the next step takes.

What I ‘see’ in my minds’ eye, I liken to a mountain.   A lot of Us made it to the foothills over a decade ago.  A few of us continued ascending up the mountain,  facing the steep climbs when they appeared upon our paths.    A great number of us chose to stop there, worn out by the hike to the foothills and,  stayed behind to frolic in the meadows of pretense.

As if something had been achieved.  Relatively speaking, that might have been, however now, Humanity as a whole, has reached those same foothills.  It ran like a Herd to escape the rising tide of events.

That tide is continuing to rise.  Flood warnings are out all over the meadows of pretense.

“The Ark started moving,
a shifting with the tides.
The unicorns looked up
from the rocks as they cried.
The waters came down
sort of floating them away.
That’s why we’ve never seen a unicorn
to this very day.”

If we’ve been living our lives with a goal of “comfortable” in mind, avoiding anything “uncomfortable”, then NOW is the time to start getting “comfortable”, with everything we have avoided.   It takes claiming our own Willpower and the Sovereignty over our emotions, in order to do it.

Steep climbs, paths requiring personal and individual effort and expense of energy, only get “comfortable” after we’ve surmounted a few.

The National Debt of the US is representative of how much the emotional self indulgence of We the People cost.   As G.W Bush portrayed so well, the majority of us are weak emotionally.  We are only “comfortable” within controlled conditions.  When Life flows outside of those conditions, we throw emotional fits.

Let’s face it.   “We the People” just don’t happen to know how to feel “comfortable” with Life outside the little boxes comprised of our coping skills.

Kinda’ reminds me of when I was young.  I wasn’t “comfortable” in a lake or the ocean.  It felt squishy and was inhabited by creatures that liked to nibble on my toes.     If I ever wanted to feel “comfortable” around lakes or oceans, I only had two options.  Option A: sell the idea to encase all the lakes and oceans in concrete, making them more like swimming pools then natural bodies of water.  Option B: change my own perspectives and attitudes.

Change ‘it’ or change the way I related to ‘it’, those were my choices.   I was young then, I hadn’t grown up, so I simply whined about how uncomfortable I was.   I ‘saw’ Love as catering to the needs of my “inner child”.    And all I can say now, is that if our “inner child”  still hasn’t grown up, then continued denial of accountability for it,  isn’t the ~easy~ way to go.

Unless the IRS decides to recognize that child as a dependent,  it’s time that child grew up.  Liberty and Freedom only come to those of us who are willing and prepared to accept the responsibilities of them.

{{tumel}} recently asked about the significance, if any, of the current eclipse activity.    I grew up knowing it as the “once in a blue moon” occurance of two full moons in one month.  The second full moon, known as the blue moon, being thought of as “lucky”.  Make a wish…

The significance of the event is to convey “new beginnings”.

This particular time,  Humanity is beginning an ‘ascent’ of sorts on an evolutionary spiral.  It has to do with awareness and consciousness.  Ever so often awareness expands.  It is all part of a natural order of experience.

I can compare it to when we were little.  First we become aware we have fingers.  Next  we become aware that we can move them.  Then we usually put them in our mouths, further expanding our awareness to include taste of fingers.  Eventually we become aware of our feet and toes.

From the moment we are born, life is an adventure in further expanding our awareness.  We learn how to manipulate and animate our parts.  We become aware that we can initiate action; we can move on our own.    After we learn how to hold our head up, we look up and ….become aware of how much more there is to discover.  This leads to our initiating action to stand, walk, climb, etc.

One thing we can count on, is once we discover there is more to Life, we go after it.  And that is what we are doing now.

I guide to take a deep look at our standards and our ideals.  For if our ideals and standards are limited, so will we be limited as individuals and, from now on, so will our lives be limited likewise.

A very beloved friend of mine happened to witness my cat enjoying himself within recent history.  My cat had caught a shrew and was busy munching away.   He was being True to his nature; the shrew to its.  Death/birth, is all part of a natural process.  Life in action.    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all.

She expressed she had to turn her back.  I smiled and laughed, saying something about being “squeamish”.    Her reply was that there was nothing wrong with being a girl.

This is the sort of thing I mean about questioning our standards.

What does being a “girl” have to do with being emotionally limited when it comes to embracing life?  Seems to me “boys” display the same inner nature with the same consistency.   Our limits are something we all share in common, because it is the way our cultures have raised us to be.  Nothing sexist about it.

The dysfunctional “boy” counterpart to the dysfunctional “girl”, plays the role of taking physical dominion by force, in order to protect dysfunctional “girl” from everything that makes her “uncomfortable”.

These were our “old” patterns of behavior and they are now obsolete.  The more we try to play into these roles,  the more miserable we’re going to get.

Over the past 15 years, I’ve been gnashing my teeth in frustration as quite a few of us rushed off to some group that supports dis-associative disorders.   Most of these groups have been fluffy bunny groups, promoting lala lands of heaven on earth, devoid of everything that makes us feel uncomfortable.  Basically, a “heaven” on earth that resembles something along the lines of a sanitarium with padded walls.  A “gated” community, one that has “boundaries”, that keep everything “negative” out.

It’s what we do.  Being unable to cope with life, we imagine living in a “heaven”,  where we don’t have to face anything that makes us feel uncomfortable.

Behind our feelings of discomfort are emotional “wounds” we have not addressed.  We haven’t loved ourselves enough to seek healing.  All we’ve been seeking for the most part, has been to escape, to dis-associate our selves from our experiences of emotional pain and suffering.

We have sought to wipe out the parts of our realities we didn’t know how to cope with and, in so doing, detach and distance ourselves from the ‘parts’ of ourselves that are suffering, mentally and/or emotionally. All these ‘parts’ of our lives that we thought we had successfully distanced ourselves from, are now all rushing back into our lives, demanding attention.   Humanity is being slammed in ways that are bringing up these old wounds.    It’s definitely not a time to be squeamish about addressing bleeding hearts.

My energy is focused on helping as many of us as are open, to start genuinely understanding the “talk”, walking it and, healing wounds along the way.

Dear Torben,

I’ve checked back to your webpage a few times over the past months.  I’ve followed the links and I’ve read.  And it comes to me to write to you again, though I honestly admit to not knowing ‘why’.  I often don’t know the ‘why’, when the inspiration moves me.  It simply does and I accept it.  I learned long ago resistance is futile.  It merely wears me out.

First, let me say I haven’t read a thing I wouldn’t agree with concerning the people in question.  However, my response would be different.   Waging a battle of negation over whose view of Reality is going to dominate over the other IS the “old energy” pattern.

Some of us claim to be a victim of a certain person, while that certain person claims to be a victim of some of us…ALL at the same time!  Excuse me for being so bold as to say it sure looks like two ends of the same rubber band to me.  A pot, calling a kettle black and vice versa.  It has “Victim” written all over it.

Sure, investments and expectations don’t exactly match with Reality.  Notice anything in common with the rest of the World?  ALL our personal Kingdoms based on illusions are unraveling.

Signaling it’s time to get Real.

A “donation” is one thing.  A “shareholder investment” is another.  I wonder which one it was?  Usually when I buy shares, my check is exchanged for Stock Certificates.   If the company has no legal certificates to exchange for my check, then I wait for them to satisfy all the legal and financial requirements, according to all rules and regulations.  Let them prove themselves fit for public investment before asking for it.

Who are you really mad at?

So long we see ourselves as victims, we will feel helpless and will be lost, without understanding.  Admitting to being gullible and ignorant is empowering, because we, personally, can DO something about it.

If a man comes and knocks on my front door, promising me if I give him $500, he’ll turn it into $5000, I’m going to ask for his client list.  I’m going to demand proof before I hand any money over to him.

Especially, if it’s anyone of us claiming to be any kind of ‘spiritual teacher’, who hasn’t even so much as yet claimed responsibility for emotion.   I’ve been observing responses towards one another.  And I haven’t noticed a great deal of any discernable difference when it comes to expressing quality of spiritual substance of character.   It’s a competition of who has been the biggest victim of whom.  Who is best when it comes to using a whip of Guilt.

“Mea copa, mea copa, mea maxima copa”, “through my fault, through my fault¸ through my great fault”…

“New energy” pattern says:

You bet I’m [[[[[[G U I L T Y]]]]]]].  I freely admit it.  I Am Human.  I make mistakes.  I’ve told myself lies and believed them myself, which made them feel like truth I was selling to others.   Who hasn’t?

And how we respond to the human in all of us is what distinguishes a ‘spiritual teacher’.  What is our Standard of Value?  Perfection?  Or the ability to embrace ~imperfection~?

I “stand behind the short wall” but it doesn’t mean I need be silent.

“I Am God Also”…the phrase has been used as some sort of claim, kinda’ like credit.  ‘Credit” is a way of saying “I believe in you”.   Well, I’m the sort that already knows it doesn’t matter one whit how many people believe in us.  It only matters how much we believe in ourselves.

So from now on, I’m going to respond to all claims of “I Am God Also” with:

“That may be but has yet been proved.”

Greetings & Salutations!

Both {{{cordieb}}} and {{{tumel}}} deserve WAY more in response to their inquiries and blessings then just the little blip I’ve managed to write so far.   I suppose it might appear like I have been taking a vacation, as in, exit stage left.  But that would be an appearance only.   I’m ~still~ very much *here*.

I have been a busy bee, bumbling mostly, just trying to keep up with the turned up/on intensity.  Woohoo!  Are we having FUN yet?

Gads, it doesn’t matter the outer circumstances that are triggering it…deep seated emotions are all coming up and out.  Sniffle, sniffle, “Pass the Puffs,”.

As far as I can tell right now, what’s happening is Freedom’s Ringing.  Our Soul/Spirits WILL be Free, one way or another.  Soul Healing has begun.  Like….Michael Jackson’s Soul is now FREE from all the pain and anguish he was experiencing.   He was suffering intensely, especially mentally and emotionally.

Our World is shifting, from being outer directed to inner directed.  ALL outer circumstances and conditions right now are manifesting for ONE purpose and ONE purpose only: to motivate/inspire us to start turning inward.  For there is where we will all find the courage and strength we need to face going through all the changes.

What’s ‘coming in’ is what is known as “POWER” on a Cosmic, Universal or Spiritual Level.  And it’s bringing down all our man made delusions of “power” and everything we’ve built on those delusions.

My husband and I were watching a movie the other night.  A thief had kidnapped a female US Marshal and both of them were stuffed inside the trunk of a car the thief’s cohort was driving.

“Why aren’t you struggling?  No screaming, no crying, you aren’t acting like you are afraid at all.  Why?”, the thief asked.

“I’m not afraid.  I know all I need do is sit back, relax and wait for you to screw up.  You’re a man.”, the US Marshal replied.

Then the thief exclaimed she sounded just like his ex-wife.

And that’s basically the  story behind the “Divine Feminine”: the “Holy Spirit” or the Third Aspect of the Divine Trinity:  Intelligent Activity.

Man, as in Mankind, screws up and in comes the Holy Spirit to the rescue.    And from Spirit’s perspective, there is NO such thing as any “order of difficulty”, for nothing is difficult.  *Now* we can ‘do’ this the hard way, the old way or, we can choose to ‘do’ this a new way,  the easy way.

We have reached the end of our bass ackward ways and it’s cause for celebration.  No longer will we be going bass ackwards, so now maybe we’ll be able to get someplace, besides over well trodden ground.

Real soon, within the next couple of weeks, I will be posting a “taste” of what is being assembled right now.

*drum roll*

I’m going live, hosting interactive classrooms.  I’m going to “channel”….

~me~.

While streaming video, an interactive classroom will be set up for live interactive chat, discussion and questions.

Like I’ve been saying, there is a difference between a teacher and a preacher.  The main difference being group participation.

A website that is the platform for these live events is what I am building now.

Blessings & Hugs,

Sue Ann

This was 1st posted April 30, 2008.

I dedicate this post to {{Simon}}, who worries he isn’t shifting fast enough…

When a certain idea keeps coming to me from all sides, repeatedly, it is one of the ways I am to “know” that I am being ~prodded~, goaded even, to speak, when I really don’t want to. (My own human self, getting in My way.)

Lately, one of the issues has been the issue of discernment. So long as there are those of us working on this issue, there will be lies and deceivers, for they are the polar ‘opposites’ of us when we do not know how to discern truth from illusion. Lies and gullibility are two sides to the same coin, two ends to the same rubber band.

Discernment happens to be the 3^rd labor of Hercules. It’s rather an involved labor. After the 1^st labor of reining in our horses, The Capture of the Man-Eating Mares, establishing mental discipline and, the 2^nd labor of riding our bull of desire over to the Temple of our Soul, The Capture of the Cretan Bull, comes the labor of discernment: the Golden Apples of Hesperides.

This is the labor of bringing the two poles of our being together. Coordinating, synthesizing, integrating and, creating a state of at-one-ment between our Soul and our Personality, so that duality gives way to Unity and all pairs of opposites are blended, are seen as ends of the same rubber band. The apples are symbols of the all inclusive nature of Spirit, how all are nurtured by the same Tree of Life.

In the story there were 3 apples, symbolizing Instinct, Intellect and Intuition. The 3 layers of Mind. It takes Intellect, a conscious act of Will, to overcome Instinct, which was the lesson of labors 1 & 2.

But it is still Instinct that is activating the Law of Attraction…that is riding our desire nature (the bull) and, causing our fear inducing perceptions (our horses running wild with us). Until this pattern is overcome, through the Discernment of Intuition. The 3^rd labor is to register contact with Spirit in waking consciousness and recognize its qualities.

In the story, Hercules is to get the Golden Apples, which grow on the Tree of Wisdom, a sacred tree of great renown. The tree and its fruit were said to have been a Gift from Divine Mother, the unconditional support structure of Her Garden of Eden. The fame and tale of these sweet fruits had been told far and wide, luring many sons of man and Sons of God over time.

He was told 3 things about his labor. First, that the way would be long. Second, that the tree was well guarded by three beautiful maidens, who were in turn guarded by a dragon with 100 heads. And third, to guard himself well from strength too great for him and wiles beyond his comprehension.

He was also told that on his search he would meet with 5 tests, each with Insight upon where the fruits of Wisdom could be found. As with each of us, at this stage of our enlightenment are in search of 5 things: we have not what is called “a translation faculty of the Presence”, for we do not yet posses the privilege and the prerogative. We may claim to believe in the Reality of a Soul, in the possibility of being Whole and Complete, in a journey of self discovery and self realization but belief has not been turned into Knowledge of the Spiritual Realms in terms of genuine “knowing”. Glamour still rules our minds.

Off Hercules goes, passing through the third gate and, headed north, symbol for the direction of Spirit. He went far and wide, questioning everyone everywhere he went. Coming back to where he started before the gate, time and time again. No one knew where the sacred tree grew. No one knew where to find the golden apples. Discouraged and deflated of his early bravado, Hercules still trudged on.

Out of Compassion, he was sent some aid: Nereus, son of the God of Fresh Waters, son of Neptune, known as “the Ancient of the Sea”. He was not only wise but, capable of assuming many forms. Just as our Spirit, when first contacted, in the early stages of our journey will come to us as a flash of illumination, an “Aha!” moment, a sudden realization, then disappear. Its Wisdom fleeting and illusive, like a hint dropped into our awareness when we have stilled our emotions.

Time and time again Nereus contacted Hercules, in varying forms using various words of Truth, but Hercules ignored him, not recognizing him for who he was. Wise was he and deep in the Wisdom of a Son of God but Hercules was blind and could not see. His answers were always in the form of hints of things to Hercules, leaving him with only a vague idea of what to do and where he needed to go. He did finally impress upon him the way before him was to turn south.

He had his high moment, when he transcended his ‘human’ consciousness and experienced communion with his Spirit, but it did not last.

Failure marking the 1^st of the tests, in the darkness of his own ignorance, Hercules continued his search. Having found no sacred tree in the north, Hercules turns and heads south, symbolic of going back into the world, the opposite pole of Spirit.

Where he immediately ran into Antaeus the Serpent, son of the God of Salt Water, son of Poseidon and, the Earth. There is significance in the distinction between fresh water and salt water. One is conducive and supportive of life if swallowed, the other isn’t. One represents Truth, the other, illusions. Hercules wrestled with the Serpent but it overcame him at every turn. “He must guard the tree”, Hercules imagined, “I must be close. All I have to do is break his strength and then get the fruits.” But he wrestled with all his strength and could not conquer.

“Why do I fail?” he cried. “As an infant I destroyed a serpent from my crib. I strangled it with my own hands. What is wrong with me now?”

Finally, he grasped it with both hands and lifted it up in the air. And the deed was done, the Serpent vanquished. Antaeus, momentarily defeated spoke: “I will meet you again in another guise when you come through the 8^th gate” and, disappeared.

The Serpent Antaeu symbolizes the serpent of glamour, especially what we call “astral” glamour. Glamour of this kind includes all aspects of what we call “psychic”. It is with the lower aspects of this “psychism” that Hercules has to wrestle with, as in our early stages so do we, for the glamour is very powerful to our untrained minds and attracts each and every single one of us. At this stage, we are ill equipped to verify in any way, what we see, hear or sense. Like Hercules, many of us wrestle with this Serpent for a long time, before we learn how to lift it up to the Light of Illumination.

Earth being Antaeus’ Mother, he draws all his strength from her. So when he becomes disconnected from her, he looses all his power. This tells us that the source of the Serpent’s strength is the Vanity of our Personality. The air has also always been a symbol of what is called the “buddhic” plane or “Christ” plane of activity. When we (rein in our horses) to seek the single eye of illumination (ride the bull to the temple), then our mind in filled with Light and all glamour is seen for what it Is. Truth is revealed. Glamour vanquished. Becoming both immune and invincible to it at the same time.

Simply a change in our perspective can work miracles when it comes to the way we feel.

Essentially, fear and excitement feel the same. What we choose to qualify what we feel, depends entirely on our perspective of expectation…whether we expect ‘good’ or ‘bad’. From the ‘buddhic’ or the Christ way of looking at things, there is NO ‘bad’. Every moment in Life is a Present, a Gift of experience. How Grateful are we for our Presents? How much do we love Life?

“Glamour” is composed of all of our ideas that the Love of God or Spirit, is Conditional. That there are limits to an Absolute’s absolute-ness. Any and all of our ideas based on separation, based upon being separate from Spirit at any moment. It is any and all of the realities we live in our heads based on supposed ‘spiritual’ exclusiveness. Like good/bad are based upon the perception of exclusiveness. As in “Heaven” and “Hell”, “the chosen” and “the unchosen”. Like contradictions, conflict and competition are all based upon the perception of different ‘parts’. Like categories and qualifications are all based on the idea of separation, as well as, being end results of a thinking process called “anal-ysis”, which is best referred to as Hindsight.

While the “view” of Spirit is One of Unity and Equanimity and the thought process of Unity awareness is that of Synthesis.

Ideas of polarity and duality and all the emotions that go with them, all our dreams and all our dramas based upon being superior or exalted above others, all our dramas based on fear and doubts about being loved and accepted, are what make up the substance of the ‘astral’ planes of Glamour.

Rising above it all, is the basis of this story. The “two who are one”. The son of man who is also a Son of God. The Reconciliation of the Divine Brothers. The symbolism behind the sign “Gemini”. The tale has been told over and over and over. Castor & Pollux. Romulus & Remus. Cain and Abel. Christ and Lucifer. Symbolizing the two aspects of our nature, our Soul or Spirit and, our Personality.

In getting back to my story, the 2^nd test met and overcome victoriously, Hercules proceeds along his search. Feeling renewed strength through confidence he turns and heads west, where he runs straight into his 3rd test in the form of Busiris, the great Arch Deceiver, another relative of the god of salt water, Poseidon. It his role to bring delusion to the minds of the sons of men by posing as a teacher, a spiritual authority. He has a quickness to his speech and speaks words like ‘accept what I tell you”, “I am the authority. I have been chosen to know the secrets withheld from others.” “Stay with me and be Saved.”

Hercules obeyed, the invitation so gracious, and weakened daily, his strength slowly sapped by the sweet words of deceit. He slowly surrendered his will and his Mind over to Busiris, day by day and, came to accept him as teacher and guide. Busiris made great claims of himself, claims that he was a custodian of the truth and could lead Hercules into the Light, that he could show him the way. Hercules loved and adored Busiris and accepted everything he said without question. Until one day his beloved teacher bound him in chains upon an altar and kept him bound there for one year, as his slave and captive.

Busiris is anyone of us making claims of being an authority figure, superseding the authority of the Presence within our own Hearts. It is anyone who tells us to look to them instead of to look within. It is anyone who seeks to chain and bind us to them through our own ignorance, need or self-denial. Truth or Wisdom only extended for a price of sacrificing personal Sovereignty to them.

This includes the roles of Pastor, Pope, Priest, Guru, Minister, Rabbi, Initiate and Shaman, to name a few. Believing in that authority over us, means we have temporarily forgotten we are ‘Hera-kles’ or our ‘Soul’s Glory”, that we are also Sons of God.

These Busiris figures in our lives claim to be custodians of the Truth, somehow and for some reason, withheld from others. They bolster their position and image with promises and build strong Personality relationships catering to our vanities. They also use the genuine sincerity of others in seeking the Truth to bind them to them, making them appear greater by way of satellites in orbits around them.

No son of man who also knows himself to be a Son of God will make any other promise then to say: “There are steps. Steps all the “saints” and “Masters of Wisdom” have always taken. If you but try and have endurance, trust and patience, the goal will be yours, too.”

At the end of a year, when Hercules was struggling to free himself, all of a sudden he remembered something Nereus had said to him: “Truth lies within yourself. There is the highest strength and Wisdom within your self. Turn inwards and invoke the strength, which Is, the Power, which is the heritage of every Son of God.”

Silently he lay in waiting, for just the right opportunity, then with the strength that belongs to all Sons of God, he broke free of his chains, seized the false teacher by the throat and bound him to the altar in his place. And left him there, without speaking a word, to learn the same lesson.

He freed himself, as do all sincere seekers, having freed our selves from the worlds of fake spiritual teachings and psychic glamour. Hercules had passed the 3^rd test. Notice that the tests so far, may appear to be laced with discouragement, delay, deceit and failure however; Hercules was rapidly learning the language of his own Soul.

He was wandering on his way, mulling over the lessons in Wisdom he had learned over the past year, spent prone upon that altar, when he heard a moan of deep distress. The intensity of the cry tore at his very Soul. In the distance over a huge rock, he saw vultures circling, near to where the cries and moans were coming from. Hercules was torn with indecision. He had already lost a year and felt a need for haste. He did not like the idea of another delay. But again the cries burst forth and his mind was made up. He bolted into a run to help whoever it was needed aid.

He found Prometheus, another son of God, an older brother, chained to a rock, suffering the agonies of vultures picking away at his liver, which symbolized being tortured by vultures of old ways and old desires. When Hercules broke the binding chain and freed Prometheus, he freed himself from the vultures of selfish desire that had been eating away at him, too. He gave up being selfish and gave up on only satisfying himself and his desires. Cooperation was the Key to World Service. Genuine Initiates were too busy serving the Whole of Man, to spend much time drawing interest to themselves for validation of Vanities and self-aggrandizement.

Hercules then chased away the vultures and took his time tending the sick man. When Prometheus was recovered, with much loss of time, Hercules went again on his way. He had passed the 4^th test. The test of Service. In beginning to recognize the Spiritual Presence within him self, he also started recognizing it within all others, too. Any help he extended towards another, hastened his own realization.

He went on, searching for the sacred tree everywhere: north, south, east and west. Finally one day when he was almost totally worn out by fear and travel, he heard a rumor from a passerby that the tree was to be found near a distant mountain. On a bright sunny day he looked east and found what he had been looking for, the highest mountains. He hurried on his way, imagining victory would shortly be in his grasp. “I will vanquish the dragon”, he thought, “and then charm the fair maidens right out of their fruits.”

But again, a sight that disturbed him down to the very depths of his Soul stopped him. He had almost reached the top of the summit of the highest mountain when he turned a corner and came face to face with Atlas, another older brother, another Son of God, too. He saw Atlas but Atlas did not see him, for his back was bowed by the weight of the World upon his shoulders. He staggered under the load, his eyes closed in agony.

Hercules stood there literally shaking, taking in the whole scene. He watched, gauging the weight and size of the load of pain. All thought of his search had left his mind. The quest for the sacred tree, the fair maidens and their apples faded completely away from his thoughts. The only ideas in his head were those of how to aid the giant as soon as possible.

He rushed forward and lifted the load off Atlas, placing the weight of the World on his shoulders instead. He clinched his eyes shut, mentally bracing himself for the weight and pain of the load of the World, when suddenly the load rolled off and disappeared. Both he and Atlas stood free.

Atlas, now free, goes to the Garden of Hesperides, has no trouble with the 100 headed glamour dragon and with the enthusiastic help of the fair maidens, brings the apples to Hercules, who now also stands free, having passed the 5^th and final test. With Love, he hands them to Hercules.

Then the maidens step forward with still more golden apples, symbolizing three aspects of his own Divinity. They each symbolize the potency of a Divine Principal.

The 1^st Maiden, Aegle, presses her apple into Hercules’ hand saying, “The way to Us is always marked with Deeds of Love. Of extending ourselves for the Joy of the extension, requiring no conditions.” She represents the Glory of Life and the Splendor of the setting sun: the magnificence in manifesting on the physical plane.

Then the 2^nd Maiden, Erytheia, steps up and presses her apple into Hercules’ hand. Inscribed in the apple is one golden word: Service. “Remember this”, she said, “Forget it not.” Erytheia represents the keeper of the gate of our Soul, which is always opened with a key of Loving-Wisdom: Intelligence illuminated by the Light of our Soul, through our Intuition. “Always embraces all ways.”

Lastly, Hesperis, the 3^rd Maiden steps up. She represents the evening star, the star of Initiation and symbolizes Willpower. She says with great Clarity and Love to Hercules, “Tread the Way. For all World Servers from now on. Body, Soul and Spirit; Intelligence, Love and Will.”

“Then I give back these apples for those who follow”, said Hercules and returned from whence he came. Before the Watcher he stood, rendering an exact account of all that had transpired. Of why he went after the golden apples but does not have them now.

The Watcher gives him a word of cheer, points to the next gate, the fourth one, saying to him, “Go now, pass through that gate. Capture the doe and enter once again into a holy place.”

Despite all the hindrances and deviations due to astral and physical glamour, Hercules did obtain the golden apples. No matter how much time it took, he did arrive at Wisdom.

The following is part of a private dialogue I’m having…a very precious individual is right at the doorway of making a big leap.  And we are discussing the veil that is in the process of being dissolved.  I shared that the reason why we see what we do on our world stage is due to a lack of love being expressed.  And of course, the response I got was in denial of my statement.  It’s not that there’s not love; it’s because there is so much anger, hate, envy, etc.

And I’m insightful enough to recognize “Blame”  being expressed when I hear it.

“It’s not *us*.  It’s *them*.”  It’s not the *Light* but the *Darkness*.  It’s not the *good* but the *bad*.

So my response is this:

The reason we see the effects of a lack of love, is because of a lack of love being expressed.  I say what you and most of us have been taught to call ‘love’, isn’t ‘love’ at all nor what ‘love’ is remotely about.  And that’s why it doesn’t attract into creation loving experiences.  It’s fear, so it creates fear and attracts fear, so it can then live off fear.

What we imagine to BE ‘love’ ISN’T “love” at all. It’s fear. Human survival fear. This survival fear runs concurrent, in contradiction with and to…Recognition and Realization of ourselves as Spiritual Beings, Infinite and Eternal in Nature. In order to feel and act in accordance with our shared survival fears, we have to DENY and NEGATE the other. A Sovereign is only victim of his/her own ideas. To be a victim of another, is to deny being Sovereign.

It’s a matter of goals. Is my desire to uplift and enlighten? Is my desire to promote limitation and darkness? Either choice being “OK”. Simply a matter of purpose and goals. Do I desire a chocolate cake or a cherry pie? Which ever choice I make as a goal, requires I use the correct ingredients and substances, mixed in balanced proportions, if I desire my activities to be result-oriented.

If results don’t matter, if my intent is all that counts and to hell with results and consequences, then, of course, ANYTHING GOES! Which we are looking at on the World stage right now.

So what’s it going to be?

The time now is for Leadership with Vision to rise. Especially in consideration of all that has come to Light, regarding those in leadership positions, that LACKED Vision. One thing that can be said about EVERY corporation going down and in straits right now, is that it LACKED Vision when it came to market potentials and future trends. The blind led the blind and everyone ended up going face down into the ditch.

2000 years ago, we, as a whole, didn’t have the slightest feelings of Sympathy towards one another. What’s really *sad*, is that there are groups of us today, that still express being lacking in this sensitivity. Dullards of Awareness. For Sensitivity is Awareness, not a lot of hu-rah ugga ugga cave man or boohooing poor thing.

Sympathy is an EXCELLENT leap we have made in our Progressive Evolution. Now it’s time we take our next step. Towards Compassion. Sympathy is not Compassion. Since it’s not, it doesn’t have the same effect or results.

Choice/Consequence. Cause/Effect. Goal/Achievement.

It is a contradiction to claim one, and live in denial of the other.

Like I said, Sympathy is not Compassion. Just like a sow’s ear is not the same as a silk purse. No matter what I make the sow’s ear to look like, it will still be a sow’s ear, made of an altogether different substance then is silk.

I can put cherries in my cake mix all I want and a chocolate cake will never come out of my oven.

I asked questions about “caring for each other”?

The reason I ask is because of the essential underlying substance that fuels our feelings. I ask in Acknowledgment of Praise for the Evolutionary Progress we have achieved, expressed by us feeling ANYTHING. We have come a long way from where we were 2000 years ago. At least most of us.

The best and most commonly known example I can think of right now to convey the difference between Sympathy and Compassion, is that of Mary, Mother of Jesus. She nurtured her Son with Compassion and Understanding. She did not smother him with worries and fears about his survival. What was her Son’s goal? What was her Son’s Purpose? What was her Son’s Soul Passion? Did she act in support of it? Did she act in denial and resistance to it? Did she fan the flames of Courage? Did she fan the flames of victim hood?

Did she Love her son? Was her love about him?

Did she just love what he meant to her and her life? Was her love about herself? About maintaining the world she was comfortable living in, with all the people that satisfied her various emotional needs?

Do you imagine Mary limiting her experiences of happiness to only those situations where everything was going her way?

What Path did Mary support her son in walking?

Now THAT was Love.

What was mentioned was:

“Love others as I have Loved you.”

The *knowing* is all in the phrase: “Pick up thy bed and walk.”

In that statement is the Acknowledgment and Recognition of the Presence within, capable of achievement. Respect for that Presence. Honor for that Presence. It was a statement of Compassion. What was expressed was a *knowing* of what it is like to be human and a *knowing* of our Spiritual Nature as well. Fused and combined in that one statement.

And you’re never going to be able to sell me the idea that all our “poor suffering victim”, helpless, hapless, victims of Creation nonsense is Loving AT ALL. It’s definitely Human, though.

What goal does Sympathy achieve?

Keeping each other BLIND and living in restriction and limitation of our creative powers over our own reality. So long as we continue to choose to see ourselves as victims, we are forever helpless and hapless when it comes to improving any of our living conditions and circumstances.

We choose our Beliefs citing respect for our freedoms of choice,yet totally deny responsibility and accountability for the consequences and results of those beliefs that we have to life with. Yes, live with.

Of what earthly or practical USE is ANY belief system or philosophy of Life, that only promises rewards after we’re dead?

One that is useless in improving any conditions while we’re alive.

Like I’ve been saying…

“Fear of Death”, a “love”, a “caring” focused and fueled by feelings of fear for survival is NOT the same as “Love of Life”, which is fueled by Respect and Recognition of the Infinite and Eternal Nature of all Life’s expressions. One code of ‘morality’ operates by creating conditions, where Life is admired and where it is not, depending on how and what that Life is expressing. The other  “moral’ code operates in extending Appreciation and Love for sharing the experience of  Life itself, uncolored by any conditions.

The Law of Karma operates through those conditions, where Life is accepted and where it is not, with intrinsic Value of Life itself being denied, regulated, with external conditions created to take Life’s place. Judgments of value, of person, based on race, gender, sexual orientation, job, family, community, nation, which end we break an egg, etc. The Law of Karma is based upon pure SUPERFICIALITY.

The Law of Grace operates by looking BEYOND purely superficial appearances, and RECOGNIZING the Spirit of Life expressing itself, any time one of us says anything. First, there was the WORD. “SELF” Expression. “Self” IN Expression is what Existence and the Whole of Creation is all about.

For it is the expression of Consciousness. And it is very PRECIOUS. In whatever form it takes.

Consciousness and Existence, they go together, like one hand washing the other. I can’t very well experience being conscious if there was nothing to be conscious OF, now can I? What’s the use of having any senses in a sense deprivation tank? And existence, how would I know anything existed if I wasn’t conscious to begin with?

Aha! Must be one of those hilarious jokes like “peacekeeping”…how can we keep what we do NOT have?

Tell me, how much money could I spend, building a vault to keep all the money I don’t have?

Is the song we’re singing “Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?”?

Or is it “Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow”.

One Mary bitches and whines and complains  about how her garden grows.    The other  guards the Immaculate concept within all sheep.

What song is being sung by the Mother of our emotional natures?

Sympathy does not accomplish, what only Compassion can empower.

Extending fear,  is not the same as extending Love.

A quote from Ovid -

“Que non viribus istis Munera conveiunt.”

These lines form part of the tale of Metamorphoses, of Phobe’s speech to Phaeton after the latter had requested permission to drive the sun chariot for a day.

Just yesterday I remembered what I had heard on TV. The Voice of Opposition to our *new* President’s requirement of capping executive salaries. When I heard complaints about being able to attract and hire QUOTE “the brightest, the best and most talented”.

“Hey, wait a minute,” I mumbled to my husband, “Did you hear that? When did the definition of success become divorced from results? If this is the result of the decision making of the ‘best, the brightest and most talented’ that we’ve got, then we’re in deeper *shit* then I thought.”

It was incredulous to me. Of course I’ve known about “golden parachutes” for a long time. They became increasingly popular after corporations began taking over and gobbling up other companies and corporations.

It was insurance for executives if the company or the corporation was not as successful as its competition. “Fire sale” insurance. Entrance to this level of ‘executives’ was usually like being invited into a men’s club, of sorts.

In other words, “golden parachutes” rewarded and personally insured, decision making that did not result in profitable consequences.

Educated fools are a dime a dozen. George W. Bush graduated from Yale and Harvard Business School. While his self expression in total contradiction with any intelligence belongs on “Ripley’s Believe It or Not?” show.

What’s the use in knowing a lot of facts if we don’t have any sense when it comes to putting them together?

Sense = cents.

No sense = no cents.

How obvious could it get?

Using one of the same type of tools that dug this hole we are in…, looking to one of us that’s been beguiled and indoctrinated into believing in the screwed up economics started back in the late 70′s…, the one divorced from a reality of accountability and responsibility for  results, ISN’T the way to go.  Trusting in those of us who have betrayed the public Trust ISN’T the way to go.

Calling all sheep!

Now’s the time to take a ewe turn…
