Hi Lisette,

so lovely to hear from you..and to read your comment. Today I was reminded to trust in the miraculous. And that St Theresa said not to insult God with a small problem. I can see some light.

Blessings to you,

Christine

Dear Christine, ahhhhhh I recently stumbled upon exactly the same poem from Hafiz, reading it to a coachee as she found her way from the stained-glass-window of her stories back to the never-changing ever-shining light that we all truly are. Separation from love, from God truly is the hardest work on this earth. I find the enduring is only needed when I am in the web of my stories, conditioning, wishing things were other than they are. And I liken myself to a car in which I can change gears and shift back, back into the light that is always whole, always one. I know you there.

Thank you for your lovely words. I might try both Gandhi and Jung's methods...the mud sounds quite wonderful. Thanks for cheering. Deep bow to know that you are. Blessings, Christine

Thank you, Christine, for you keep doing your honest, great work! I´m following you from afar. You are a great inspiration.
This year, learning about teenagers, I was told high expectations were cause of suffering, and part of the process toward healing, or relief, was to examine them.
I'm sure there's always a middle way. Anyway, like you, I prefer big expectations. I like your suggestion about myths. Among my resources are the film of Gandhi, by R. Attenborough, and the words of Carl Jung.
Gandhi used to pray, retired until having an answer. Jung went to play like a boy, with mud, for hours. They allowed themselves not knowing, searching... Where came this imperatif of having to know now, to master now, from? In the end all lives are too short, what matters is the path.
As you walk ahead of me, I'm cheering you up. This feeling will lift. It always does.

Unquestionably, in our traditional or historical mode of self expression we express and contribute less than our full potential to say it mildly. Efficiency is dependent on Clarity... and Clarity is the experience of choosing to live beyond conflict. Conflict is an inherent part of our human experience... yet we are capable of being aware of our limited and conflicting thoughts and choosing to be free of their messy and distracting influence. We earn our freedom from their influence in recognizing that we have a Deeper Reality that is inherently without limit and therefore conflict free. This empowers us to exercise and express our Right to change our minds... to release what is undesired and choose what is Truly Desired. This usually requires some practice and training of the mind to respond differently to the many habitual, obsessive, and addictive reactions that we have built into our thought process. However, the results of choosing to develop this natural ability to release and choose differently will prove their value and benefit to anyone willing to see for themselves.

Essentially, the idea of 'brilliance' reflects Inner Radiance, which is a Creative Attribute. Brilliance is the effect or expression of Inner Illumination or Enlightenment. Inner Light is an unconditional quality that when recognized and accepted shines away or disappears the unrewarding and unproductive confusion that renders us conflicted and competitive rather than Creative and Cooperative which is our innate nature.

So in order to access and share our Greater Potential to be and share Brilliance in the midst of our generally inefficient human experience... we must first clean up or release our conflicts which distract us and compromise our best interests. This is a most personal and intimate undertaking, yet there is a simultaneous and immediate transfer value that will bring much needed relief and Help into the circumstances of every relationship we find ourselves in. As we uncover and then discover the wealth of our Inner Resources in reclaiming our Right and ability to Think Differently, to Be Free of the limiting and conflicted thoughts and beliefs we unnecessarily misidentified ourselves with... Miracles unfold. The Brilliance of our Inner Radiance awaits only our recognition, our appreciation, and our acceptance that it enter in to the circumstances, situations, and diverse relationships we find ourselves in, reestablishing the Creative and Cooperative Order that will undo the past in the present and thereby release the future. This is our Evolutionary Destiny and the very Creative Revolution each and everyone of us are here to usher in. This moment and every consecutive moment that follows is for that very purpose and each and every day for the rest of our days offers us that Opportunity and Access. Thank you!

Hi Dudley,

yes, enough to go around. I am so with you on that. Thank you for your comments and encouragement. Really means a lot to me. Old...what is old...its time for humanity again to revere eldership. Count you in. :)

Dear Christine, I share your concepts on marketing. I can tell you, your iniciative is very inspiring at a personal level. Through you I knew about bucky :), also. Thank you, your words open new possibilities! And we need to familiarize with new ideas until they belong to us...

Given that I am my product, I am pretty certain there is no one else doing what I do. Not exactly. How to distinguish that has always been tricky for me. Getting clearer, but it has been one of my major stumbling blocks. Again, if this is your expertise, I am all ears…let me know."I have found in my past business endeavors, there is always enough to go around. No need to worry if you are being duplicated. I have always been my main product, the only problem with this is finding your replacement. I think you should not worry if you are being duplicated. Thank you for the blogs, I am old but not counted out.

Hi Vaughan, writing it was easy...the hard bit was to post it. Not sure why, as I put myself out there all the time. Maybe just taking an action around something this boldly caused me to blush a little.

I am glad you enjoyed reading this.

warmly,

Christine

Thanks Vaughan, I did not know about the new book on Gods in everyman. I shall have to look it up. I love that you read my posts and that you like them. Thank you.

Re: A message to my beloved…

Lyn — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 17:24:42 -0000

10 years ago I wrote a letter to the universe asking for three things to happen; a house of my own to create a home; a dog I could love and who would love me back (this was very important as I needed to open up my heart to loving again) and a man to fall in love with who would love me and compliment my life.

Am very pleased to say these three things all happened within 2 years. The key thing for me was opening up my life and my heart to these things happening. I am now married to the adorable man who I met walking at the dog park with my new little pup. We are a family of two crazy dogs, a home that we both love and a life that is constantly full of opportunities and joy.

I am once again at a point where I am putting it out to the universe

That was so brave I felt scared thinking of what it must have been like to write it. And I found it beautiful.

Re: Becoming a Jedi Knight

Vaughan — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 06:18:05 -0000

I missed this one when you published it Christine... have you found "Gods in Every Man” (by Jean Shinoda Bolen) since then? Love your posts :-) Vaughan
