The Visit to the other side; (near-death experience)

Many have heard about near-death experiences. This is my story which gave me not only Faith but a Knowing. I was born with many difficulties. Though this has never stopped me from living, loving and hoping; I believe I'm here on earth to give hope and joy to many with despair.

In my young teenage years I felt like I was alone. Waking up in a hospital room as the nurses prepped me for one of many surgeries. My heart pounding with sorrow, it was a few days before my 16th birthday and never been kissed. Sounds like a cliché, this time in my life with a heart ache. There was a young nurse, he had caught my eye and yet felt that love would never touch me. It was just another surgery, another birthday, another day in the hospital.

7:00 AM: I was put on a gurney to take me to surgery. Just like normal, I was asked to help move over by two nurses. I was making jokes so no one could hear my silent tears inside my soul. I always keep a stiff upper lip so no one could ever imagine how frightened I really was at that moment in time. Being on a cold stretcher which was disguised as a small bed, looking up at a white ceiling, I always count all the small details as I’m moving forward; it was always the same way. Watching everyone rush by, some look at me, yet others just seem as they shouldn’t look at this young girl in a blue cap. I’m thinking most know where I’m going. The noises around me seemed so familiar, like the speaker calling out to a doctor or a code, it’s always so busy. In some ways it is so business like yet people smile as I move by them in the hallways. As the elevator opened and they push the button to go to the surgical floor, it felt so cold and all I had was a small blanket with a single sheet on me, feeling vulnerable

I hear the doors as they open; it’s a mechanical sound as they bring you into the hallway to wait for the doctors. 'You want a warm blanket?' a male voice spoke to me. It was Carl the young nurse around 23 years old with Reddish hair, Tall 5’11 with a soft voice he had stolen my heart. A 16-year-old crush is so intense. Carl explained that he could not go into the surgical room with me, yet he would be watching the surgery. “Anne I’ll see you after the surgery” he said, as they brought me into the surgical room. He smile and winking at me he assured me, “You’ll be fine ”. Dr. Craig was a very famous orthopedics physician and he came out to this small hospital in Glendora, California in order to keep me from having any more stress. He was my doctor since I was two years old. He was like father to me in a lot of ways. It’s always so cold in that room and a lot of people talking softly as if we were in a mortuary. Then Dr. Craig asked me if I was okay as they put an IV into my arm. They always asked me to do the same thing "count backwards from one hundred", as I felt the anesthesia slowly put me to sleep.

At that time I felt a tremendous weightlessness, hearing voices which seemed so chaotic yet so far away. Then there was warmth that I could not ever explain. I felt so peaceful as if time stood still. Feeling others all around me yet not grasping who they were. It was as though I had friends, relatives, all around me. I was not afraid. They just stood around me caressing my soul. It was so wonderful, there was no pain or worries just loving beings all around whispering to me, 'you'll just be here for a moment'. Hearing whispers 'telling me they would see me again but I have to go back.' Then I felt my soul pulling into my body. There was a rush and then a feeling of pain, so different from the wonderful environment I had just left. I heard nurses all around “Anne can you hear me?” they seem urgent for an answer from me. I felt my body in pain and them trying to get my attention again and again, the nurses strongly saying my name “ANNE can you hear me?" Then my eyes opened slowly and I saw all of them. They all seemed so relieved when I answered them. I was in the recovery room. I've been here before, always seemed to be the same thing yet somehow this time it was different. Carl's voice came to me in gentle warmth of concern “Anne, can you say my name?” I looked at him and smiled. I was glad to hear his voice, my heart pounded with some excitement knowing my heartthrob was talking to me.

They took me to my room. My mother was there sitting in a chair next to a window waiting for me to be fully conscious. Her voice seemed concerned as she asked me if I wanted some ice. By this time I was awake to some degree and said "yes mom, I would." The next day was my birthday, sweet 16. My mother stayed by my bed the rest of the day. Carl’s head popped in my room and he said "Young lady never do that again!" as he smiled. I just looked at him with some confusion. The next day my mother came in with cake and some presents. The nurses sang happy birthday to me yet the highlight of my birthday was Carl coming in with three presents. I was so smitten and yet I felt he could not see me as a woman. Then he winked at me and kissed my forehead “Anne if you were just a little bit older.” in some ways my heart felt so wonderful. My thoughts were of my first kiss, even though it was only a small one.

I was told that the anesthesiologist had briefly walked out and they had lost my heart beat for while thinking I may not come back. Everyone felt so full with life. I remember the peaceful serenity I had left, in warmth which was beyond most perceptions. This was one of my experiences of knowing that there is contentment, so deep that I can never explain it in full detail. Many talk about the 'white light' yet there is so much more. This experience continues to give me hope, whenever I find fear. I am here on earth to talk about my experiences and help others Know the joy that is waiting for us when are done here.

How Do Men Love? How Do They FEEL When They Lose It?

THE JOURNEY -

When we are born into this world as innocent souls (babes), the directions we have chosen are very clear. As new souls we remember where we came from and where we’re going. Not yet contaminated by the worlds’ ideas and fears. As our life flows forward we start to forget that we’re neutral souls with just pure love around us. We start to learn how to fear, forgetting the pureness of joy, faith, and harmony from the divine.  We see on our path, there are many rocks in the way (fear), so the clarity gets suppressed.  Moving through issues, we get muddy, we move towards confusion. Finding ourselves learning about sins, shames, and biases, these affect our journey. Sometimes, we’re overwhelmed with all the drama from others. So now we have learned impurity (Not Love) overpowering emotions, judgments and pains. We forget the purity we came into this world with. Our family and friends will be the first souls shaping us. We can get poisoned from some belief systems; then not trusting, the feeling of ‘lost’ can grow. The pureness of love, the conscious, we had in the beginning becomes polluted and turns into fear.

 

As life experiences increase, we move faster and a bit bigger. Guess what happens next? As more difficult experiences get in our way, we learn to deal with them but picking up the baggage. Some of us find it easier than others. Some will feel so overwhelmed that the troubles feel negative. The struggles can get in our way. Small, medium or large; learning how to deal with them can confuse us even more.

 

Now here is where Karma comes into play, our life lessons. Do we remember the beginning, a non toxic soul?  Learning how to deal with fears that get in our way?

 

We come to a place I will call “destiny”, trying to find how we can move pass these turning points. Feeling blocked, uncontrollable pain, we can become cold and lost.  We see another soul who we imagine can connect with us.  We’re not feeling so separated, lonely and dark; being embraced by the warmth and protection of the new soul. The “illusion” is becoming bigger, stronger, and faster than before.  Fears are slowly forgotten, and seem to leave us. The struggles we now remember seem fewer. We feel that the other soul will protect us. Then, he/she moves always from us because their life lessons are different than ours, protecting their self from the danger of getting off their true course. Destiny creeps in. Our fears seem to revisit, not ever truly resolved. The illusion fades, reality sets in, a life lesson.

 

How do we deal with this lesson? Positive? Negative? Neutral?  Our life lessons become harder because we’re not protecting ourselves from these fears.  We let toxic waste overwhelm us at every point, disharmony enters into our lives. When our life lessons are not learned, they can become rockier and more difficult. Destiny again pops in, if we choose to follow the illusion, we don’t grow. Free will is not as easy as it seems. We find ourselves trying to move towards our path once again.  Others come to us from our soul group also moving toward consciousness. So we join with them and flow faster with excitement, but there are doubts and other confusing ideas. We can feel lost and lonelier again than ever. An ignored lesson, a lesson not learned an illusion, so let it be recognized. We can grow and flow, towards harmony and love as long as we act upon life.

 

In the beginning as innocent souls, as babes, we are not contaminated, we are clear and warm. We’re not tainted by negative thoughts. We learned about sins, shames, biases and loose our purity. We need to learn how to overcome our obstacles, the mountains that get in our way. The passage back to our true selves, the journey reclaiming how to “love thyself”.  It is our destiny to be whole and in harmony.  If we do truly love, then we can see through the illusions. Learning life’s lessons can be easier than we think. Thinking that by just connecting to someone in life will help our lives and destiny is the deception. We need to love ourselves, feeling in harmony, and then we become capable to love others, as our true divine destiny.

Possibilities: Dream the Impossible Dream

Dreams can come true by working outside the box and understanding that life isn't just black and white. There are all kinds of gray tones in our world, and most of the time we, being logical, have a hard time seeing the possibilities. Dualism can help us to an extent, yet when we only see things in two ways we’re missing things. Let's open the box, play with all the colors inside, expand our ideas, and see where it can lead us.

Most of us remember the movie the “Wizard of Oz”. This movie starts in black and white, on a farm with a little girl who is afraid. Then we see the winds turning, and suddenly color comes into play. Dorothy is in pursuit of security, in color, not just black and white. By facing her fear, she is no longer afraid. She has come home. She has found herself.

Art has a gray scale, going from white to the deepest absence of color, black. Using this as a metaphor we can understand how to capture some of the true values in life (in between absolutes). We can know or see the lightest to the darkest tones. Artist’s use these values in order to capture forms, light to dark, and feelings. When we look at a color scheme, we can find many different types of warm and cool values. They can appear where we least expect them, yet retain the appearance of fitting in. Picasso was a world renowned leader as an artist, and yet late in his life he saw the world through a child’s eyes, simplistic yet profound. He came to the conclusion that the true artists were childlike because they were not directed by technique, or as tainted by other’s opinions. There are many people who are artists, inventors or scientists, inspired by observing what might be considered mundane. These possibilities are the things of which dreams are made.

There are cultures that feel dreams are real experiences. The aborigines in Australia believe dreamtime is not a mystical state of existence; it is the waking life that is the illusion. There are other cultures that have many of the same belief systems. And then other cultures believe their truth is going into an alternate state of mind in order to find their path. Most cultures use some kind of meditation or prayer as a common practice to connect to consciousness. When integrating dreamtime, prayer, or meditation, let’s ponder like those in some cultures, that these conscious realities may be an illusion which can enrich our true selves. Let's look at the many scientists and inventors who have looked into their visions in order to find their answers. Einstein looked at clocks and saw the potentials in time and space. Some accounts even say he attributed the idea of relativity to his dreams or meditations. Now it's generally known as the theory of relativity; could you imagine what would have happened if he did not share this with the world?

Albert Einstein, along with Leonardo da Vinci or Pablo Picasso—these are just a few who allowed their imagery to give us the possibilities. We look up to these famous people as prodigies and not just regular people. All of them were just like many of us. Leonardo da Vinci was from a very modest family. In his time it was very unusual for a man of his status to become an artist, inventor, or visionary. Who would have thought to ask a patent clerk what relativity was? Multi-dimensional ? perspective? Cubism? Realities?

Look at the so-called normal people. The definition of normal, In Merriam-Webster dictionary “a: according with, constituting, or not deviating from a norm, rule, or principle b: conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern”. Normality is letting our society tell us what we should believe in or see. In order to illustrate my point I'm going to use” Plato's cave allegory”. Once there was a man who stepped out of a cave and found a different realization of thought and reality (life out of the cave). After finding these new thoughts, he went back to the cave to share them. The others in the cave did not want to listen to these new ideas and demanded him to stop or they would kill him. So for survival, he ended up stepping back into the role that he had held as a simple cave dweller. We are all unique, yet fear is a big factor in speaking out about what we learn. Fear keeps us bound to “normal,” acceptable standards created by a society that may be living in that dark cave, but we adhere to them, keeping our light under a bushel so we won’t stand out.

I want you to consider these ideas to help you expand your beliefs. When we think we are the experts on a subject, we can stop growing. Our mentors need also to grow and remember that there are new ideas. Even now, we are learning and growing every day. We find that the theory of relativity has extensions, not the end, but a beginning. Possibilities.

Most people we love as icons started as little children; they just didn't forget the prospects of becoming unique. If we step out of the box and learn to use abstract thoughts, we all are leaders, artists, inventors and scientists. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Remember this word strength. Understanding, as children, many of us used our imagination like breathing. It was so easy for us, feeling that we could be anything. As children we can look at a humble home and imagine it being a castle. The castle has all the warmth and love that we want. There is an old saying “home is where the heart is”  yet as we get older we are taught that this household isn't a castle but just a home. We now turn into the man who feared that his life would be taken if he talked about a new reality, a cave dweller. Logic is sometimes important, yet it only leads to two places. Maybe dualism is just a closed (black and white) thought system, and yet there are so many other ideas and colors that are here to inspire us.

In conclusion, we can have our dreams and grow as people if we don’t forget that we started life as children who used all the abstract ideas within. Dream the impossible dream and it can come true. Just like the movie “Wizard of oz.” we started by looking at the world in black and white. After a while color comes into play and enriches our lives with new possibilities.

“Somewhere Over the Rainbow”

“Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true.”

Thoughts for the Day

 How many of us get up each morning thinking: Where, what, who and how am I going to get everything done today??   Rush,   Rush,   Rush, being on time for work, what you need to do for your husband/wife, children, family and friends, this is important, yet how many times do we think about our own needs? The Bible and other Divine writings make it very clear to ‘love ourselves as we love others’, taking care of our body, mind and soul.  When we take the time to feed our souls, we are going to feel better about our day. Our loved ones will feel healthier, as well, because we have fewer anxieties from our daily stresses.

 

 Positive energies being put out into the universe helps everyone feel more balance.  Like a smile or like laughter is contagious. Quiet times can be 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1440 minutes ‘if we feel lucky’. When we don’t take those few minutes of quite, we may find our minutes slipping away without noticing what we are loosing.  Questioning who we are, becoming overwhelmed; opening many thoughts and emotions without cause is not healthy for our mental well being.

 

 We can move so very fast at times in our “E-world”, that we just forget about our own needs. If we don’t take care of ourselves, how can we expect to take of care our loved ones? Can you do your best, at work, at home, or any where, if you forget to love yourself?  Many feel in conflict with their souls, loosing perspective by defining themselves by everyone else’s viewpoints (or lives).  Some who are reading this may be thinking, “Who is this person? There isn’t enough time in the day to stop?” I will say it again; it can be any amount of time. When we can slow down, just for that small amount, it will help us feel as fresh as the mountain air. Then, we can continue to the next moment. ‘BE’ harmonious with the world around you and the day will move smoother and happier.

 

  So think about: How can I make time for myself?  Try to fit a few minutes here or there, taking a deep breath, its’ your life. You won’t feel so overwhelmed and your needs WILL be met.  You can help others by taking care of who you are (body, mind and soul). THEN you can “Rush, Rush, Rush,” and still be in harmony and balance even when you need to be on the go.

 

 

Inspirations, Thoughts, and Positive Quotes

Serenity Prayer:

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference.

Eleanor Roosevelt:

Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry their own weight, this is a frightening prospect.

Mother Teresa:

Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.

Dalai Lama:

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

Don't Quit - Author Unknown:

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road your trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and its turns, As everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about When they might have won, had they stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow, You may succeed with another blow. Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victors cup; And he learned too late when the night came down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out The silver tint of the clouds of doubt And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when your hardest hit, It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit! When things over whelm us we can look at others’ words to remind us, encouragement for us to move forward and continue on.

 Blessings, Anne

The Voice on the Other End

Today, I’m going to open my life up so others may get some insight about a rare disorder I have.  Dystonia is the name of my Strength, Patience and Faith; why I’m the person I am today.

I hope this will help anyone who reads this to be patient with others and themselves, with divine insight.  Understanding that life is an Illusion and all of us have a story to tell.  Strength is the knowledge that we can get through everything. Not letting life control us, yet living life to its fullest.  When we feel bad, it’s OK to cry. We are emotional beings too, so understanding how to trust, love and go through pain even when we can’t seem to see the end from where we are. "There always a light at the end of the tunnel " Even when we need to climb a lot of stairs to get there.

Here is a part of my story. I have a Movement disorder called Dystonia.  All of us who have this disorder are different in how we move (involuntary muscle contractions). My individual disorder moves in my upper body mostly. They can affect my speaking ability, but enhance my thoughts and intuitive insights.  When I experience a bad episode my body moves, no muscular control.  Seeing is closer to the experience.

 You may find this a bit disturbing to watch, viewing may arouse some emotional responses, just try to be understanding and open minded.

When I was 26 years old I was diagnosed at UCLA with Dystonia. My back bent so much they were concerned that I might break it. The Doctors had even considered inducing full or partial paralysis to stop the movements so I would be safe from harm. I always joke around saying this is a free spiritual gym membership.  It helps when we laugh together and sometimes cry.  Each time I go through this I know in my heart that I will be ok, Strength, Patience and Faith.  

I’m 50 now and feel that I’m not willing to stop. Next time you see someone with some movements that you don’t understand, please don’t Judge. We are, after all, just human beings with our stories to tell.  I have had several near death experiences as well, but those are other stories for another time.  If you contact me for my intuitive insight, I hope now you may better understand the voice on the other end.

Divine Guidance; Light at the end of the tunnel.

It’s nice when I can help reunite people with their families or give them peace of mind. Here are two cases when I’ve been able to help as a psychic. I want to share these stories with you. Sometimes when we think there is no hope divine guidance shine through. I’ve been blessed by being a part of these lovely stories.

Thanks so very much, Anne, for your help with finding my son, you assured me he was alive & described his situation & environment exactly as they turned out to be, your reassurance was a lifesaver. You are very gifted intuitively & I am so happy to have you as a friend! And I will likely be calling again soon for some personal guidance. Bless you, Ann !

I wanted to let each of you know something very amazing ... On Tuesday evening I spoke with Anne on the phone and we talked about my Dad. And Anne, without my telling her first, described my Dad to a "t". She then went on to tell me that he was very upset about some recent deaths in our family (we lost two great Aunts a couple of weeks ago), which was making him think about growing old and dying. As a result he was on a quest to regain his independence and didn't want to answer to anyone (which is why he didn't check in on Saturday, etc). She also warned that he is very confused and feeling lost (emotionally), not really knowing what he was doing. She also told me that she was seeing "Oregon", and that somehow a train was involved. Then she went on to tell me that he was indeed going to come home within the next 48 to 72 hours (72 hours would be Friday).

As you know, the last place he called from was Yreka, which is the last town on highway 5 before Oregon. So it is very possible that he had been in Oregon most of the time.

Then last night Anne and I talked again, and she told me "He's going to be home tonight, but very late". He came home at 10:00 PM (very late indeed for my parents).

I am very thankful to Anne's gift, and in her encouragement and ability to help me stay calm and hopeful.

Take care,

Alicia

The Inspiring Story of Stone Soup; Never be alone

 

Once upon a time, somewhere in post-war Eastern Europe, there was a great famine in which people jealously hoarded whatever food they could find, hiding it even from their friends and neighbours.

 

Three soldiers trudged down a road in a strange country. They were on their way home from the wars. Besides being tired, they were hungry. In fact, they had eaten nothing for two days.

 

 

"How I would like a good dinner tonight," said the first. "And a bed to sleep in," added the second. "But that is impossible," said the third.

On they marched, until suddenly, ahead of them, they saw the lights of a village. "Maybe we'll find a bite to eat and a bed to sleep in," they thought.

 

Now the peasants of the place feared strangers. When they heard that three soldiers were coming down the road, they talked among themselves. "Here come three soldiers," they said. "Soldiers are always hungry. But we have so little for ourselves." And they hurried to hide their food. They hid the barley in haylofts, carrots under quilts, and buckets of milk down the wells. They hid all they had to eat. Then they waited.

The soldiers stopped at the first house. "Good evening to you," they said. "Could you spare a bit of food for three hungry soldiers?" "We have no food for ourselves," the residents lied. "It has been a poor harvest."

 

The soldiers went to the next house. "Could you spare a bit of food?" they asked. "And do you have a corner where we could sleep for the night?" "Oh, no," the man said. "We gave all we could spare to the soldiers who came before you." "And our beds are full," lied the woman.

 

At each house, the response was the same -- no one had food or a place for the soldiers to stay. The peasants had very good reasons, like feeding the sick and children. The villagers stood in the street and sighed. They looked as hungry as they could.

The soldiers talked together. The first soldier called out, "Good people! We are three hungry soldiers in a strange land. We have asked you for food and you have no food. Well, we will have to make stone soup." The peasants stared.

The soldiers asked for a big iron pot, water to fill it, and a fire to heat it. "And now, if you please, three round smooth stones." The soldiers dropped the stones into the pot.

 

"Any soup needs salt and pepper," the first soldier said, so children ran to fetch salt and pepper.

"Stones make good soup, but carrots would make it so much better," the second soldier added. One woman said, "Why, I think I have a carrot or two!" She ran to get the carrots.

 

"A good stone soup should have some cabbage, but no use asking for what we don't have!" said the third soldier. Another woman said, "I think I can probably find some cabbage," and off she scurried.

 

"If only we had a bit of beef and some potatoes, this soup would be fit for a rich man's table." The peasants thought it over, then ran to fetch what they had hidden in their cellars. A rich man's soup, and all from a few stones! It seemed like magic!

 

The soldiers said, "If only we had a bit of barley and some milk, this soup would be fit for a king!" And so the peasants managed to retrieve some barley and milk.

"The soup is ready," said the cooks, "and all will taste it, but first we need to set the tables." Tables and torches were set up in the square, and all sat down to eat. Some of the peasants said, "Such a great soup would be better with bread and cider," so they brought forth the last two items and the banquet was enjoyed by all.

Never had there been such a feast. Never had the peasants tasted such delicious soup, and all made from stones! They ate and drank and danced well into the night.

 

The soldiers asked again if there was a loft where they might sleep for the night. "Oh, no!" said the town folk. "You wise men must have the best beds in the village!" So one soldier spent the night in the priest's house, one in the baker's house, and one in the mayor's house.

 

In the morning, the villagers gathered to say goodbye. "Many thanks to you," the people said, "for we shall never go hungry now that you have taught us how to make soup from stones!"

 

The moral of the story is that by working together and everyone contributing just a little, a greater good is achieved.

 

This story was told to me by Great Grandmother Poctor.

Norma Gentile Newsletter I would like to share this

On July 7, the day of Michael Jackson's funeral, we experienced a minor lunar eclipse. Think of it as a homeopathic eclipse meant to expose our own inner issues and help us clarify emotional boundaries. What are we learning? That in Michael Jackson, as in any of us, there is the expression of both sides of polarity. In such a visible public figure all is magnified. And it becomes difficult to categorize him because his life includes both sides of polarity. And yet that is exactly what Unity Consciousness is all about. Unity Consciousness is the unified expression of our polarized reality. And in that unification, we hold someone in a space of consideration rather than judgment. Learning how to do that, and realize when we are not doing that, is what we are learning to do this summer. It is not a coincidence, says Archangel Michael, that Michael Jackson passed when and as he did. Both the clarity of his artistic vision and the murky waters of his personal life, especially around his ability to care for himself, are reflections of what each of us deals with in our own way. None of us is perfect. And the higher voltage energies brought into one's aura by public scrutiny and attention makes it even more difficult to balance inner self-care and outer world doing. We are each going to be given the opportunity in the next two months to clarify how we care for ourselves and how we nourish ourselves. Simply put, loving our less perfect aspects allows us to communicate with these aspects within ourselves. As we move into middle August and through September, our emotional boundaries provide the cauldron into which the Sacred Masculine energies of the star Sirius will pour. A strong cauldron will let you manifest into physical reality the changes you wish to make in your life. A leaking cauldron will find you running after possibilities, not seeming to catch them. Noticing what you are judging is one of the principle factors to building this strong emotional cauldron. When you judge something, be it a person or a person's actions, you are placing yourself into an energetic relationship with the person or their actions. We live in a world that is polarized into "good" and "bad", "right" and "wrong". It is not easy to step beyond this way of thinking. In a larger cycle there is a service of blessing being offered through as we are given the opportunity to feel, emotionally, the restrictions we place on our hearts when we are judging others. To whatever extent we stand in judgment, our hearts are not open to fully love ourselves. We lean the most upon the crutches of things we judge as bad. Because by defining what is wrong or bad, we also automatically define their opposites; what is desirable and good. And we each want to believe that deep down inside, we are good. Because in our polarized belief system, we are taught to love what is good and push away what is bad. Hanging onto our ability to define what is bad lets us hang onto our ability to judge what is good. And we find great comfort in this. But neither promotes love. I have often heard the expression among New Agers "It is all good". And I find this jarring. I can feel an underlying sensation that something uncomfortable is being covered over by a smile. If nothing else, Archangel Michael says that Michael Jackson's death and the subsequent revealing of his life story will stand as an opportunity to emotionally feel the exaggerated results of such actions. Michael Jackson and Archangel Michael There is a level of conscious within Archangel Michael that accesses all other dimensions without judgment. Because there is no judgment energies that we perceive as being of the light or of the dark can move through Archangel Michael to wherever they themselves need to be. The human brain likes to judge if something is good or bad, dark or light. There is comfort in knowing what something is, so that we can then know how to relate to it. For example, if it is bad and we push it away, then we must therefore be good. Michael Jackson seems to be embodying the complexities of many facets of human nature from the sublime to the unfathomably odd and unhealthy. Reviewing his life offers us the possibility of not putting him into a comfortable "good" or "bad" side of the polarized continuum. The first steps toward Unity consciousness are those of consideration rather than judgment. As we consider Michael Jackson's life, perhaps we can also consider, rather than judge, aspects of our own inner lives. Seeing Truth How many millions viewed Michael Jackson's memorial online and on television? At the same time, a homeopathic eclipse was in effect. As people continue to view the memorial now the energies of the eclipse remain available. Grief, not just for the passing of Michael Jackson, but for the passing of a lifestyle is being shed. The memorials for him and so many other celebrities from my childhood who have died in the past weeks provide opportunities to grieve the passing of our presumed lifestyle. The baby-boom generation, of which I am one, grew up in a world that is going to be gone within the next few years. It is crumbling all around us. We thought that it would last forever. The old goal was a big house, big car and retirement. The new goal is a small energy-efficient home, a hydrogen or environmentally friendly car to get us to mass transit, and sharing our gifts with others as long as possible. Grief for the passing of a lifestyle that baby boomers grew up in, expected to live in, but are losing before they can fully benefit from it is tangible. Sometimes the grief of loss is anger. As icons of our childhood die their passing reveals an unspoken, ill-defined, nearly invisible grief of letting go of things by which we have unconsciously defined ourselves. And just as with judgment, when we lose the outer trappings that define ourselves, the boundaries of who we are need to be recreated. Now personally I have been all for the new cycle my entire life. I saw and did not feel comfortable with the past typical American life-style. But I would say that you who are reading this and I myself are in the minority of Americans, Canadians, and most others in industrialized countries. Most people still have a longing for the old days of our childhood. The comfort of Saturday morning cartoons and going for a drive just for entertainment still calls to most people. As celebrities from the past depart, it is as if fence posts from our memories that have kept us safe are being torn away. We must find other ways to create comfort. We must learn to define who we are by our creative expression rather than by what it is that we judge. "Who we are" is more important than what is outside or contrary to ourselves. It is not a coincidence that Archangel Michael can help other Beings, both of light and dark, move homeward. This is because Archangel Michael's consciousness is one of love for all. Clearly understanding our polarized actions lets us begin to step toward this unifying love in our own hearts. Unity Consciousness is not a consciousness in which only "good" exists. It is a consciousness which embraces both sides of the "good" and "bad" of our world. In Michael Jackson we have the opportunity to step out of the judgment of "good" or "bad". Over and over, each time we see a media segment about his life, we have the opportunity to notice the judgments that arise within us. Consideration includes compassion, judgment doesn't. As we move into and beyond 2012, we are called to learn and experience Unity Consciousness. This is not a consciousness in which all is perfectly perfect. It is a consciousness that allows us to see what does not fit in our lives, and to make adjustments. The internal emotional changes that were offered by the homeopathic lunar eclipse were received by millions of people whose hearts were more open than usual as they watched Michael Jackson's memorial service on July 7. Imagine the difference this will make over time; that so many millions of people were still, allowing themselves to feel deeply their own emotions, during the time that the energies of this lovely little homeopathic eclipse were active. Even more Eclipses this Summer! Another homeopathic eclipse on August 6 reveals, probably by magnifying them, blind spots that you have created in your own spiritual vision of your path. This eclipse will help you gather all that you have done and step into a new cycle. July 22 brings a total Solar eclipse which "begins in India and crosses through Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar and China…a partial eclipse is visible in most of eastern Asia, Indonesia, and the Pacific Ocean." more here This eclipse reveals false masculine structures and helps reveal the Divine Feminine within all those incarnate. The Sirian Portal July 23-September 17 This year's energies from Sirius bring such a strength of Sacred Masculine that we must clear emotions and energies of the profane or unreal feminine to make room in our hearts, our bodies and our lives. The incoming Sacred Masculine energies of this late summer will work with all of us on the planet, as well as Gaia herself. This will be particularly strong in the middle weeks of August. No Regrets Let yourself feel the new way, then you will see and understand why you have headed in a different direction than before. Once you are on this path, only then can you see its conclusion. My love and great blessings all, -Norma, with Archangel Michael

Prayers, Quotes, and Encouragements

Serenity Prayer: God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference. Eleanor Roosevelt: Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry their own weight, this is a frightening prospect. Mother Teresa: Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. Dalai Lama: This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. Don't Quit - Author Unknown: When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road your trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and its turns, As everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about When they might have won, had they stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow, You may succeed with another blow. Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victors cup; And he learned too late when the night came down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out The silver tint of the clouds of doubt And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when your hardest hit, It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit! When things over whelm us we can look at others’ words to remind us, encouragement for us to move forward and continue on. Blessings, Anne

Hard times in our lives;

This month has been a hard one for me. I went into the hospital on the 2nd of July, out on the 5th of July. While I was there the hospital put in an I.V. in my leg (ankle), actually several places over the time of this stay, standard stuff but the one in the leg got infected. I have a hip implant (a second revision) so they were worried about the infection migrating into my hip or bone.  By the way, all is fine now, 4 weeks later!

This month has been a healing time for me and a renewal of my faith. Knowing that the Divine love is all around; I have heard from others as well as myself “How come I have to be the strong one?”  I know many of us feel this way at one time in our lives or another. We are never given more then we can deal with and each time I go through these times of hardship I find “love, light and healing” plus who are my true Friends and Love ones.

 

So, I am back (in saddle again) and will be online as long as possible “Trying to help others” through my work.  Each time I have this happen to me it helps me see that I have Angels, Sprit Guides and God looking after me, as we all do. So when things look really bad and we fear, remember it’s going to help us be stronger.

 

So many times we hear the statement, “It’s not the absent of fear that makes us strong, but its how we deal with it the gives us strength.”  We are emotional human beings and we can be fearful, yet that is exactly what makes us human and vulnerable. So let’s give ourselves a brake and choose to see what good comes out of these experiences and remember to be patient and have faith.

 

I’ve had other surgeries (30+) and more hospital stays. I am still here; walking talking and loving.  Each time I find something of value for myself and others around me, be it wisdom or that we as people need to hold onto our hope.

I am 47 years young and still going strong.  God just doesn’t want to do all the paper work on me, smiles. We all have a reason to be here, even when it’s hard. 

SOUL MATE?

From my years of experience speaking with people about “Soul Mates” I
find that this word is used too freely. Finding your Soul Mate(s) isn’t just
Peaches and Cream.

Many people feel as if their soul mates will be the love of their

challenging.

Karmic lessons are all around us and when the Zen master stated  

“Chop wood, Gather water, Enlightenment, Chop wood, Gather water…”

this means that we are working extra hard to gather our reward.

 

http://marriage.about.com/cs/soulmates/a/soulmates.htm

Written by Sheri & Bob Stritof,
 also wrote the book -Your Guide to Marriage.

However, there are several viewpoints as to how to describe "soul mates" ... even on how to spell it! Some people spell the term as a whole word, soulmate and others, including us, prefer to keep it as two words, soul mate.

 

Soul Mate Challenges

Although you may assume that a partnership of two soul mates should be able to handle challenging times well, that may not always be the case. Just because they are in tune to one another, are each willing to take responsibility for their role in contributing to the conflict, and are both committed to making the marriage a successful one -- the marriage can still fall apart if other essentials such as love, respect, and communication are missing.

Many people have probably already married their soul mates and simply don't realize it. The danger in believing in the concept of soul mates is taking your marriage relationship for granted.

If you start looking for perfection in your spouse, or think that everything in your relationship should immediately click, and that there won't be any problems, you are setting yourself up for a dose of heavy disillusionment.

There can be temptation to bail out of an unhappy marriage because you think your spouse isn't your soul mate. If you think that marrying your soul mate will mean a life free from hard times and conflict, you are not facing reality.

In my view soul mate means:

 Work is the definition in a soul relationship that  people often
forget to talk about.

Life’s lessons are what need to be emphasized in these types of connections and in our
life time we may not meet or be in a Soul relationship. What I have noticed
 is we don’t recognize them or can’t get along with our soul
mates, we just can’t learn to live with them, even if we
connect. This doesn’t mean we’re not going to be in or have a
relationship that is good.  There are many types of soul matches,
soul clusters, which are the other’s we tend to live around in past and
present life. They are our spiritual family, and we often feel as if
we just know them when we meet.

Here is an old story about Soul mates and to make sure,

I got it right I looked it up on Wikipedia.

You can read for your selves and make your own mind up about how you may feel.

  

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soulmate

More in depth in classical definition

"Plato wrote in his Symposium that humans have been looking for their soul mate ever since Zeus cut them in half. In his mythic story, Plato describes a world where there were men, women and people who were both men and women. Apparently, humans began discussing how they could climb up to heaven and replace the gods. The gods were upset by this and discussed what should be done. The simplest solution would be to destroy mankind, but Zeus came up with a better idea. He suggested cutting all human beings in half. This would serve two purposes. First, it would immediately double the number of people making offerings to the gods. Second, it would weaken the humans, so they would not be able to carry out their plan. Zeus' idea was accepted, and the humans were all divided into two. Naturally, the humans were upset at this, and Zeus decided to enable each half to have intercourse with their opposite, symbolically creating a whole. Consequently, the males sought their female half, and the females sought their male half, allowing them to reproduce

 

  Is there only one soul mate?  Wow, this question haunts me.  I feel that
there are more than one Soul mates in our lives; past and present. This
means we have many kinds Soul mates that may be, not just the lover.
Mothers, Sisters, Friends, Brothers Fathers, and yes even our daughters
and sons. So why do we worry about this word that is used so
very much?  Fear, our belief systems and our insecurities of having

Our other perfect half (Soul Mates) and that we feel lost. In the big picture it is not to

Worry, the man/ woman who makes you feel like you’re the most important

Person on this earth may or may not be your soul mate.

 

 

When we learn to Love Thy Self, then you will find like minded people

Who help you with life lessons and drive you crazy at the same time.

 

So, learn to find who you are! Until then the universe

Will make you work with or without a Soul mate.

Relax and stop worrying, you’ll find someone to drive you crazy,

They just may be your Soul Mate.

I do hope they can also make you laugh and enjoy the time we have

On this learning earth plane.

What is true pain?

 

When people think of pain we often feel the physical, psychological or emotional effects...

I would like you to look at and redefine what pain really is or isn’t.

 Types of pain:

1-When we are in a hospital we can overlook that the physical pain can go away with a positive outlook, realistic attitude, and not a negative or unrealistic attitude to live. At the very least it can help to minimize it.

2-To NOT open your heart and feelings to someone in our arms, even for a moment, we may miss our moment to go to heaven and feel the pain of regret, a missed opportunity.

3-When things change for better or worse, sometimes we forget to appreciate our God given gifts (blessings). Reasons for feeling pain.

a.        It can be a feeling of hell’s pain, just for that moment, to learn to acknowledge it, and get on with living.

b.      We can feel like we have lost our strength and power in life’s painful situations, within and around ourselves, though we could chose to see it for it is, a possible illusion.

c.       We fail to appreciate our life because we get overwhelmed with our own feelings, closing to the truth, causing our own pain.

4. When feeling the pain of depression we forget to get up and do, not try, to take a walk and just feel connected.

a.       Sometimes, when we feel we are on our last leg of emotion, feeling depressed, we reason and justify our choices. We should not forget our true selves and our blessings to lead us to an inner strengths and being aware, not deluded. Gain strength from understanding why we are depressed.

True pain, NOT to truly live, fearing to do something different to make things better. Or simply put enjoying what we have now, appreciate the simple things too.

It’s hard to let go and change ideas, patterns, and learned behaviors from the past. When we DO let go, we can fly high and free. Empowering ourselves with the knowledge that we aren’t letting others control our ideas, patterns and behaviors, our identity is up to us. Others can’t make us feel negative or positive; it is our choice what we let in.

In life, we may have wounds, and when salt is pushed into an open sore it hurts more. Are we allowing our old behavior patterns and reactions (fears) to cause a perceived pain? So the next time you feel hurt ask yourself, “Am I learning how to be stronger in my path that I am choosing?” Even with things that seem out of our control, we can choose to control ourselves, making the two negatives into a positive.

When we have the physical, psychological or emotional pain it can goes away. We will feel like there was something missing in our life regrets of not trusting, loving and letting people in our hearts. Is Fear true Pain or is Pain true Fear? Fear can stop us from being all that we truly want from life’s existence, not being a victim of the pains of life and becoming stronger and learning from them.

Stop, think, and just maybe you will redefine the word “pain”. Fine the empowerment we need to enjoy each moment we have now.

I have known a lot of people who have, physical or mental problems who have died yet I remember how they lived, their strengths and battles they have gone through. Their pain isn’t what I remember, it’s the effects they have on me and others, for this they will never die but continue to live in the hearts of those who have known them.
