Knowledge is...(© 2008 “Mrs. Overall” – Ann Emmit)

Knowledge has to be within as well as without.
You could learn, for example, all about astronomy, assimilating the information like a parrot, to repeat from memory, but you may not necessarily understand it.

True knowledge is an understanding of your knowledge, a deep inner knowing that is brought out with learning experiences and teachings.

True knowledge never ends. It is infinite, unending, eternal and opens us up to the wonder of knowledge. Each day brings us knowledge – new understandings, new awakenings, new awarenesses.

Be aware and awake to knowledge.

What Prayer Is (© 2008 “Mrs. Overall” – Ann Emmit)

Prayer is the language of the Universe, the language of the cosmos. It is the simplest, yet the most profound language that there is. Prayer unites us to Heaven and Earth. The Divine spark within us enables us to pray – otherwise prayer would be impossible. Were it not for our God-connection within, we would be mute and dumb. We would have no means of connecting to the Source of the Universe.

Language enables us to communicate with one another in our ‘mother-tonge’ and in languages that we may learn, but prayer is set aside from this concept; it is not restricted by the languages of our many differing multi-cultures. Prayer is an ‘omni-language’ – we can pray in English, French, Russian and in any language. Prayer is totally and absolutely Universal and uniting.

Prayer is the instructive and intuitive language that we are born with, and it is always ‘for the use of’, whether we use it daily or rarely, or never! It has no grammar, no format, can be utilised in all situations, can be silent or spoken, short or lengthy, one word or many. It can be used at any time, in any place; it can be forgotten or remembered, it can be poetry or prose, have the ‘shush’ factor or the ‘shout’ factor; it can be single or collective, personal or public.

Prayer is so many things. It is all things and everything and our lives are the richer for it. Prayer is a miracle language, freely given to each and every sould, it is our God contact, our Divine out-reach, it is our sacred ‘life-line’.

Prayer is Power, Peace and Positive. ‘Pray without ceasing, pray’.

A Beautiful Prayer (© 2008 “Mrs. Overall” – Ann Emmit)

I asked God to take away my habit.
God said “No”. “It is not for me to take it away, but for you to give it up”.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said “No”. “His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary”.

I asked God to grant me patience.
God said “No”. “Patience is a by product of tribulations, it isn’t granted, it is learned”.

I asked God to give me happiness.
God said “No”. “I give you blessings; happiness is up to you”.

I asked God to spare me pain.
God said “No”. “Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me”.

I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said “No”. “You must grow on your own! But I will prune you to make you fruitful”.

I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said “No”. “I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things”.

I asked God to help me love others as much as He loves me.
God said “Aaah, finally you have the idea”.

(From Lyn, Ann’s American friend)

Sacred Tools(© 2008 “Mrs. Overall” – Ann Emmit)

Sacred tools are important, wonderful, helpful helpers and assistants but tools are simply that.

Tools for the use of.

For the highest good of.

They should never become of such a strong focus that the original intent/focus is diminished. It is possible for us to sometimes be unaware that our focus on the tool is so intense, that this ‘over-focus’ in itself diminishes the higher focus of intent.

Like ritual, tools are a great help, but we must guard against ‘getting lost’ in tools or rituals; tools should never take ‘centre-stage’.

Perhaps the most sacred of tools are the ones that are inherent within us; the heart and the mind. When heart and mind work synergistically and sincerely, harmoniously and holistically, with wholeness and holiness, our system becomes aware of its connection to the ‘entire environment’ – the universe.

It is a profound – the most profound – connection, superceding and surpassing all other connections. This recognition of the high vibrational energy of pure love, also gives rise to the knowledge that each one of us is love in every situation.

Love is the purest, deepest, kindest supreme emotion. This Divine Love, Love Unconditional never judges us, just enfolds us, ‘holds us’ for eternity.

The joy of this realisation, the awareness of this concept is the highest blessing we can receive.

The Ultimate Blessing, the blessing of blessings, the Blessing of the Divine.

All sacred tools need to be respected and used with this heart/mind loving connection; to enable us to use our sacred tools to the best of their potential power.

Intent with love is paramount!

Love (© 2008 “Mrs. Overall” – Ann Emmit)

Love is living, giving, radiating,
it is transformational and "sense-ational”;
it is powerful and potent, but pure and gentle;
it is universal and eternal;
it is complete, has no beginning, no ending;
it simply “is”.
Unconditional love surpasses all other vibrations.
It is the Love of the Divine.
Love is the most blessed, most sacred of gifts. . . a gift for you, for me, for all.
Love, love, love, love is all you need.

Channelling Thoughts of Ann (© 2008 “Mrs. Overall” – Ann Emmit)

These are some of the channelled thoughts that have occurred most prolifically during the past ten years or so:

Ann, I give you poise. Live a life of poise.
Ann, strive for poise, live in poise and balance.
It is as gentle as Reiki, gentle, but potently powerful.
Live in poise and balance, I place it upon you.
Amen.

(Dictionary definition of “poise” is to carry, support in equilibrium, to be balanced. To have equilibrium, dignity and assurance of manner.)

An emotion, feeling, truth that I feel deep within. The blessing of blessings is to be exalted and humbled. Exaltation and humility work hand in hand, side by side (and are also so fundamental to the essence of Reiki, the core of Reiki teaching).

No one is “better than” anyone else. As soon as you are “better than” another the ego is in control, and not the higher self, which is the highest part of ourself, the highest part of our being, the highest part and yet the humblest. Yes, the humblest, because it has nothing but love in it.

The higher self of humility

The self most high

The self most exalted

The higher self of nothing but love

Exalted and Humbled, with love, love most high.

“Humblest” = “Hum-blessed”.

As soon as we class ourselves “better than”. . . . we are denying our Divine Essence.

I thank You for this feeling you place within me,
this profound emotion that You honour me with,
You honour me with the Blessing to share and give out to others.
Amen.
