Eckhart Tolle’s book on “The Power of Now” is very good and very powerful. But it is very hard to grasp some things and even with a genuine aspiration to do so, we still fall on our feet of clay. Well, I do. Sometimes I can have really spiritual moments, even days and grasp the ungraspable but to be such a guru or approaching that level as a norm is quite beyond me.
Happily, I really do not think that it is necessary to feel inadequate or incapable when life’s material presence intervenes and drags us back down again; when we feel like we have totally missed the point so we might as well give up.
There are many saints who have grappled with the struggle between what I want and what God wants or what we think God wants. Those normal, everyday feelings when we feel anger, bitterness, jealousy, desire, selfishness (and witness these things from others and actually enjoy them) and plain can’t be bothered will keep intervening because it is normal and human.

I was having a chat with someone the other night on gmail pop-up and she mentioned something being about a figment of our imagination. As in, do we exist at all or are we just a figment of our own imaginations?
Then I wrote that perhaps that what the fig-leaf means in the Garden of Eden in Genesis: perhaps the fig leaf represents the figment or the self-delusion of who we think that we are. If that is the nature of the ‘beast’ perhaps then the ‘beast’ is represented in the snake. That, in nature, we are a delusion of self. Kundalini is associated with the snake at the bottom of the spine in keeping us earth-bound. We do not know who we are.
The apple of knowledge gave us seemingly the delusion of thinking that we ‘know’ everything. And yet we don’t and still think that we do.
That might explain it anyway!

These writings are “channellings” – mind thoughts that come into the conscious mind with a profound resonance, yet they have a subconscious origin; they ultimately find expression via the written or verbal word.
They are an expression of Universal Knowledge and intelligence, vibrations given from the universe, and are a culmination of many words and phrases that at some point have made an impact on my own mind processes.
I share them with an open mind and heart and pass them on, so that in the reading of these passages of prose, others may find stimulation, support, comfort, encouragement. They are shared with the wish that your own awarenesses may be enhanced, awarenesses that are endemic within everyone’s inner core; they simply, patiently await that time of awakening. Perhaps these few words may be in some way that special catalyst. Read the rest of this entry »

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. Read the rest of this entry »

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.
