:multiblob:  It's the only game in town.  When we realize we are making it all up, then we can start having fun with it.

If you're really looking to take a census on this topic, why not try a Christian forum or one that isn't centered on the subject.  There are people here that feel it goes aginst their  and are battling this fear (I read this a few days ago) but really, asking your question here is like going to a bar and asking people if they thougtht that drinking is evil.  If you are looking for lively discussion on the subject, this is probably not the place.

Do you mean you have not experienced a higher level of awareness or you have not felt the energy go through you?   I oftentimes don't feel the energy channeling through me but I can feel the temperature of my hands rise or sometimes, I feel different bodily sensations when giving people treatments.

Sorry but your some kind of crazy hippie psycho.

Hmmm... that seems like an emotional statement.  Who are you talking about here?  Yourself?   :WTF:

LOL!!! I knew that comment would come back to bite me.  

OOps!!  Nope, didn't see it.  Sorry, I think you started it with that observation of my picture! :kermit:

Hmmm... Interesting conversation.  I'm a Reiki Master and have helped people on this board with back pain and such but healing an open wound in that short of a period of time?  Seems a bit farsical to me...

On the other hand, I have helped many people to heal themselves through Reiki or just trusting in my inner knowledge from pain that they have endured for years.  I don't necessarily believe one needs to be Reiki attuned, I think it just gives people the confidence they need to be aware of their own Godlike essence... and see it in others.  It is the recognition of Divinity in the one who requests healing that actually does the healing.  We don't heal each other (I can't heal you) it is your own divinity being recognized by me and you heal yourself.

Hey, Heather!!! Wow!!!  What a coincidence!  You look just like the smart looking chick in that avatar of yours!!!

I've tried looking at some of the old pics and most of the links are broken or the uploaded ones didn't survive the transfer when AP switched over.  I know there are some very nice looking people in here.  

(looking around)   :thumbsup:

We're all special in our own little ways, but to take on the weight of mankind and the world as a special breed...nah..not happening.

[LOL!!!]

LOL!!!  it wasn't the taking of the picture that put me off... it was mixture of company I was with while it was being taken.  

Another story for another time  

I thought I'd reactiveate this thread.  I can't find a pic out there of just me without being attached to an entire website (my website crashed a while ago with my images) but until I get a pic on here, here's a link to the pic with my blog.

Ditto what she said!   :bouncy:

Hello!

I just went through a year of HELL getting over a guy.  The moment I let him go and looked around at what I did have, I was like "Holy Sh*t!!!  What a dumbass I've been!"  I looked with new eyes at what I DO have and what I have is far better than any fantasy I have about a dude from the past.  I realized that all I had to do was open my eyes and what I had been looking for all along has what I had in my best friend.

Kerri

Doug,

I have recently come to the realization that I am indeed the creator of my experience.  I have taught this for a while, but never embodied it.  This past week, I had a realization that indeed this is true.  

The realization was that in essence, we are Love, and One Unified body.  We (for lack of a better word)  have chosen to create an illusion where we are divinded into mulitple facets (which we call things... anything you can touch, feel, see, sense) All of these things are based on our collective and seeming individual consciousness.  The only thing that is real is our Unity, everything else is based on perception which is an illusion.

It got me thinking that since I create my reality, there are many different reality's I may wish to create.  The mind is what creates and is our tool for creation.  Since at any given moment, I may choose one thought over another, there are many different "tracks" I may choose to take.  For example, lets say you are playing a video game, there are many different things you may do with your character.  The character is the same, but the experiences the character may have can be different.  

My mind (your mind, our mind which is our One consciousness) is playing the game and we as characters in the game act according to the direction our mind chooses for us to act.  We can choose different thoughts and therefore, choose different experiences.  

I can choose throught my thoughts to live a life of destitution and depression if I want, or I can choose to live a life of richness, love and Joy if I want, the choice is up to me.  I am the character in my experience and my mind is the joystick.  

Given this model, there can be infinite levels of creation we may choose to experience.  We may also at any time, choose to experience a different level of experience than we have been playing and may play our character differently than we have in the past.  If we have chosen to live a life of destitution up until now, at any moment, we can change our characters experience and do something differently.  We can switch tracks so to speak.  I think this is what your dream was telling you.

Very cool dream by the way.

Nay,

I'm with you.

This duality stuff is very tricky. Why is it more comfortable for me to write as if I am writing to someone outside of myself and access the answers as if they are from outside of myself?

This is learned behavior. If it is more comfortable for you to access the information as if it were coming from a source outside of yourself, that is fine. If it is more comfortable for the information to be coming from inside of me, that's fine too.. Either way, you are communicating with God or your higher self so it doesn't really matter which form you use. You are creating more separation by assuming there is a source ourside of yourself yet if it helps you to be having a 2 way conversation, that is fine too. You are God and God is you and yes... things are the way they are because you say so and You are God.

the duality thingie can be unlearned but it really doesn't matter how you do it... as long as it helps you.

Love.

I don't have the gifts my children have and I'm envious that they are starting off so much further along than I have ever been in this lifetime... I just needed to share this.

My daughter just said to me very excitedly, "Mommy, I was just holding a baby Angel and as I was walking downstairs, she got smaller and smaller until she disappeared."  She says that it was very little and she was holding it in the palm of her hand, that it was green and glowed...

Oh what a JOY to be age 5!!!

This past 2 weeks has been a roller coaster ride for me and I thought that if anywhere, I could find some people here who can relate.  I'm not sure really why I'm posting it but it needs to get out there and someone can use the information I'm about to deliver in some way so take it and use it in any form that feels most appropriate.  

On August 27, I closed on a house in Upstate NY and moved from the Washington DC area.  If that were not crazy enough, the night after my close, my last living Grandmother died who had been living with my mother.  My Grandmother and I never really got along very well, severe personality conflicts, however, I suspect that's because we were very much alike.  

2 years ago on Thanksgiving, we had a huge argument which should have remained between the two of us, yet the entire family felt that they needed to choose sides and it really caused a rift in the family... my husband overreacted, my little sister overreacted, my Aunt overreacted and my mother overreacted.   Everyone felt hurt by this argument that I had with my grandmother.  I did not invite her to my wedding and she brought it up right at Thanksgiving.  She had been hurt by the lack of an invitation and I was hurt by her lack of presence and apparent love for me throughout my life.  I told here that she was as present at my wedding as she had been in my life and that should have been the end of it... Unfortunately, everyone else thought that they needed to step in.  

My Grandmother has (still does) an entrepreneurial spirit and I think she had a very rough childhood. My aunt told me that there were many kids in her family and that she was "farmed out" as a child which I take to mean, someone else raised her and she was made to do more than her share of work.  She most likely did not receive the love she needed as a child (my assumption) and therefore built up a very strong coat of armor. As a result of this, my grandmother was always sabotaging herself when it came to allowing other humans to love her.  When I was a kid, I never heard her say she loved me and I often heard her say that children should be seen and not heard.  This is all just to give you some background so that you might have the opportunity to understand this dynamic.  

The last time I visited with my mother, I had a very good visit with my grandmother and for the first time in my life, we both told each other that we loved each other (I'm 33 years old.)  This was private between myself and my grandmother (the others in the family were not privy to this exchange... it was as it should have been.)  

When my Grandmother died last week, because of my belief system, I could not mourn for her.  Instead, I was VERY HAPPY for her.   I truly believe that death is the last experience because it is the BEST experience.  So, when everyone was mourning for her, last week, I was very chipper and happy because I knew that she finally was free of all of her emotional baggage that she had been carrying around for the past 74 years.  

I have told my mother that we just change form and there is really no such thing as death.  In fact, as I was there visiting, my Grandmother visited my mother and when my mother asked if it was her, my Grandmother laughed at her (hee hee.)  Even after this experience that my mother had directly, she still mourned for her... is still grieving... still crying.  My Grandmother died on August 28 at approximately 2:17 am.  In CwG, God states that (can't give you page numbers right now) if you knew that death was the best, how could you greive? (I'm paraphrasing here)

I guess the reason I'm writing this is to ask, how do I maintain my belief system and also help others through their grieving?  I just can't grieve for someone who I feel is dancing naked in the rain!  I know it must seem callous to some yet I just can't bring myself to be sad for someone who is truly LIVING!

Any advice? This is the second death in my family in the past 2 months.  My father in law died (who I truly loved) and I couldn't bring myself to be sad for him either.   How do I help people get through this without being inauthentic and without seeming callous and uncaring?  

Thank you for your responses,
Kerri

I'm sending this warning to everyone I know, friends and enemies!

If someone comes to your front door saying they are
conducting a survey on deer ticks and asks you to take
your clothes off and dance around, do not do it!

IT IS A SCAM; they only want to see you naked!

I wish I had heard of this before yesterday. I feel so stupid now.  [:I]

Okay,

I have a few questions for you... men and women.  As I become more authentically myself, my personal power is significantly increasing... to the point where people who I have never "met" in the physical sense are starting to comment that they can "feel" me.  I have had a few amazing experiences with this recently and am starting to understand that we are MUCH bigger than our bodies.  Because of this, I am personally harnessing and putting out more POWER (sorry folks, it's the only word that adequately describes this.) Another side effect of harnessing and putting out more power is that I am becoming more LOVING too... Basically, I feel very Free, Loving and POwerful... very nice feelings to have about ones self.

I just had an experience this afternoon on another discussion board where we were talking about creating conscious community and someone felt threatened enough to basically (not in these words) tell me to shut up and stop spamming the forum.  Those of you who know me know that even though you might not agree with me, I generally have very well thought out posts and try to be as sincere as possible.  

I am also aware that sometimes I come across a bit strongly... this I can not help and will not change because I am merely expressing who I am.  

Someone else from that board said to me that the man who felt threatened was obviously afraid of strong women.  Why is that?  Why are men allowed to be ALL POWERFUL and it is even a desirable traitfor men.  But when women are seen as powerful, they are seen as domineering or as B*tches or as wanting to "be like men" if they claim their own power and freely express it?  I'm perfectly comfortable with my femininity, in fact, I'm always searching for ways to claim more of it (try Bellydancing)... AND since our cultures see femininity as weak... I'm making it my greatest strength.  Why is it that being a POWERFUL WOMAN is seen as threatening or bad???  HOW FRUSTRATING!!!!

Is it only Strong, Secure Men who can appreciate Strong Women?  Why can all women appreciate a strong man, yet the opposite is not the case?  

It's quite the limiting double standard.

Sorry for the rant.

Hello friends,

I just got an email from a dear friend who is doing his best to make a difference in the world.  He just set me this email and asked me if I could spread the word.  He is going to Romania in October/November to raise money for children in the AIDS orphanages and has asked me to get the word out regarding his project.  Here is an excerpt from the email he sent me and here is a picture of one of the paintings he has done of these kids:  

I am heading to Romania for October and maybe most of November. There is asmall museum there that is going to exhibit my herkus. Anyway, the primary purpose for going is to take the first steps toward developing an intercultural artist and writer exchange, that will have a web presence (galleries and anthologies available through print-on-demand). The profits are going to go to help support some of the AIDS orphanages there (which I will visit in person, thus the reason for the long trip).

Here is how you can help: if you can ask your friends or contacts to
stop my my website, it would be most appreciated, because I am going to have a large HerkuFleurku sale to finance the trip. The Herkus are going to be 18X12 inches ($40 plus $5 shipping), or really large ones on a special order basis, (up to 36X24) $250 plus $10 shipping).

Anyway, it is a good cause, and should lead to quite an amazing
experience for everyone involved.

Please visit his website at www.petercoop.com to see what a Herku or a Fleurku is and feel free to peruse the entire site.

Here's that picture I promised you:

Hey all,

I came across this the other day when looking for something else... The Angels seen in this photograph were supposedly seen in many pictures taken at this family reunion, surrounding the man whose back is to the camera.  He had cancer before the reunion, no cancer after... Of course we never know if this has been manipulated but It seems pretty cool to me!!!

[What a wonderful Gift!]

An amazing book... This is a work done by Roman Catholic Scholar, Marion Starbird who loves Ancient religions, Mideval arts and ancient history.  She was brought up in the Roman Catholic Church and after reading Holy Blood, Holy Grail, was appalled at the thought of Mary Magdeline as the bride of Jesus Christ.  She set out to disprove this hypothesis and the more she tried to find facts to disprove this rumor, the more compelling evidence she found that she was proving the opposite, that indeed all evidence pointed to the marriage of Christ as not only possible but highly probable.  

I thought I had a pretty healthy outlook on life and had pretty much embraced my femininity... Until I started reading this book.  I never realized how wounded my psyche was until I started reading this book, how much the idea of there being a Bride of Jesus would completely validate a part of myself that I had never realized my spirit was crying and seeking validation.  I am only 1/3 of the way through now and am feeling such a healing of my own psyche that I feel everyone should read this book, women and men.  What a wonderful Gift!
