~Messing With Our Minds~

Beach Buddy asked "Are you not going to eat your cake?"

I looked at him, and said "Why do you ask that? Is it because you really didn't get the kind of cake I like?"

No answer.

So, I rephrased my question.

"Could you save me a trip into the kitchen and just tell me? I'm too tired to try to play this game with you!"

Pause.

Then he snaps at me, "How long do you want to wait for the answer? Why can't you simply use your abilities to figure it out for… Continue

Psychics that walk the Talk (not the PLANK

We all know that Cleo is not going to be on the spiritual plane anytime soon. There are still so many people that do not believe that people really do have a gift of ESP, Clairvoyance, Psychometry and on and on; since they are jaded; from all of the con artists, gypsies, and frauds that cast spells and ask for more money in advance. Well, If I had to pay a $3,000 dollar phone bill, I would be pretty pissed off too! I used to call psychics alot one year, and 9 out of 10 of them really… Continue

For Peace - Remember we belong to each other

WORD FOR THE DAY

If we have no peace,
it is because we have forgotten

Freedom

You don’t have to go skydiving to experience freedom. You don’t have to be rich. You don’t have to be poor. You don’t have to be single. You don’t have to be married. You don’t have to be straight or gay. You don’t have to have certain thoughts and not others. You don’t have to have faith. You don’t have to meditate. You don’t have to know right from wrong. You don’t have to behave and you don’t have to rebel.

You don’t have to…… Continue

Creating A Future of Love

Continuing the Cycle of Love and Nurturing ...

When a child pushes a parent’s buttons or misbehaves, sometimes all a parent can do is to lose their temper or speak harshly to their child. And sometimes …a parent treats their child the way they were treated …with anger and violence – continuing the cycle.

Today, parents are more sophisticated than they were 20 or 30 years ago. And they’re busier and overwhelmed.

By continuing the cycle of how our parents treated us… Continue

strength

To experience strength, practice commitment. Commitment is evident in your habits, not your dreams. A wedding vow is not a commitment – a long and healthy marriage is…

Mother Teresa’s strength is not measured by her results, but by her commitment. Mother Teresa was not attached to making a difference in the world, in Calcutta, in the Catholic Church, and not even for every needy person. She was committed to serving humanity and that… Continue

A little about me.

Hi.

I am exhausted by religion. While I love the semiotics of religion, and communication with the source, the ONE, a marvelous experience, I have become tired by the emphasis of 'importance' to any particular sect of faith.

I know when I am awake, or I am asleep there is communion always with the entire existence I was invited to be a part of when I was given a conscious experience in flesh that cannot be the same without the ability to manipulate a shape.

I… Continue

Happiness

Happiness is a personal experience that can pass as quickly as it came. The fastest way to lose it is to try not to… and the best way to keep it is to give it away. You may already know that Happiness is not a place, a time, a result or a circumstance. It can’t be bought, sold, or even measured.

Don’t expect to find it here either -- it is not on this page.

This page is about how to feel happy right now in this moment… and not a little… Continue

Vitality

Our sense of Vitality is a function of our light divided by our sense of loss. If and when we focus on "loss" we rob ourselves and others of our light.

Notice your thoughts of lost time, lost opportunities, lost love, lost health... don't resist, just notice when that sense of loss is consuming your energy and diminishing your light... and then choose to shine your love instead.

Ray Charles, for example, did not focus on… Continue
