1. The poor in spirit are happy. These bring their minds to their
condition, when it is a low condition. They are humble and lowly in
their own eyes. They see their want, bewail their guilt, and thirst
after a Redeemer. The kingdom of grace is of such; the kingdom of glory
is for them.
2. Those that mourn are happy. That godly sorrow which
worketh true repentance, watchfulness, a humble mind, and continual
dependence for acceptance on the mercy of God in Christ Jesus, with
constant seeking the Holy Spirit, to cleanse away the remaining evil,
seems here to be intended. Heaven is the joy of our Lord; a mountain of
joy, to which our way is through a vale of tears. Such mourners shall be
comforted by their God.
3. The meek are happy. The meek are those who
quietly submit to God; who can bear insult; are silent, or return a soft
answer; who, in their patience, keep possession of their own souls,
when they can scarcely keep possession of anything else. These meek ones
are happy, even in this world. Meekness promotes wealth, comfort, and
safety, even in this world.
4. Those who hunger and thirst after
righteousness are happy. Righteousness is here put for all spiritual
blessings. These are purchased for us by the righteousness of Christ,
confirmed by the faithfulness of God. Our desires of spiritual blessings
must be earnest. Though all desires for grace are not grace, yet such a
desire as this, is a desire of God's own raising, and he will not
forsake the work of his own hands.
5. The merciful are happy. We must
not only bear our own afflictions patiently, but we must do all we can
to help those who are in misery. We must have compassion on the souls of
others, and help them; pity those who are in sin, and seek to snatch
them as brands out of the burning.
6. The pure in heart are happy; for
they shall see God. Here holiness and happiness are fully described and
put together. The heart must be purified by faith, and kept for God.
Create in me such a clean heart, O God. None but the pure are capable of
seeing God, nor would heaven be happiness to the impure. As God cannot
endure to look upon their iniquity, so they cannot look upon his purity.
7. The peace-makers are happy. They love, and desire, and delight in
peace; and study to be quiet. They keep the peace that it be not broken,
and recover it when it is broken. If the peace-makers are blessed, woe
to the peace-breakers!
8. Those who are persecuted for righteousness'
sake are happy. This saying is peculiar to Christianity; and it is more
largely insisted upon than any of the rest. Yet there is nothing in our
sufferings that can merit of God; but God will provide that those who
lose for him, though life itself, shall not lose by him in the end.
Blessed Jesus! how different are thy maxims from those of men of this
world! They call the proud happy, and admire the gay, the rich, the
powerful, and the victorious. May we find mercy from the Lord; may we be
owned as his children, and inherit his kingdom. With these enjoyments
and hopes, we may cheerfully welcome low or painful circumstances.
“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” — Friedrich Nietzsche

evidence of the Law of Attraction
* Happy Accidents
When you start looking for evidence
of the Law of Attraction, it will begin to show itself by means of coincidence.
You will receive subtle clues about
which way to drive home, and as a result, you may avoid an accident on your
street.
It is important to allow for this
kind of spontaneous fortune and have gratitude for it.
Sometimes you never understand why
you got a flat tire, but you can be thankful that you are capable of changing
the tire and not need to know what greater disaster may have been avoided.
Keep a little journal of your
coincidences, and see if they relate to your goals or if you need to change
your intentions.
Taking a little time to reflect on
the Law of Attraction will help you know it when you see it happen again, and
you can continue to attract happy accidents.
* In-Sync
The more you notice coincidences,
the more often they will happen.
Have you ever shown up to the office
and everyone is wearing a purple shirt that day? Spooky?
Maybe, but it is definitely an
example of synchronicity, indicating that you are open to the subtle influences
around you.
Synchronicity shows us the
connection between the subjective and objective worlds.
Although the universe does exist in
perfect harmony, not every incident should be considered a sign from above.
It is important to use your judgment
and follow your intuition about how to interpret seemingly random events.
When you have strong positive
feelings about a sign and it is happening in conjunction with other happy
accidents, sit up and take notice.
If there is personal meaning in it
for you, then you are in-sync with the messages from the universe.
Reminding yourself of all the little
ways the universe is speaking to you will cultivate more synchronous events.
When you pay attention to these
seemingly ordinary events and pursue a positive outcome, the universe will
offer more.
* Perfect Timing
You have a full schedule for the
day.
Suddenly, an important client calls
and needs you to do an extra project for them, right now.
There realistically isn't enough
time in your day, but you positively intend that it will all work itself out.
Somehow.
Later that day, another client calls
and reschedules the afternoon meeting she had with you.
While
she is apologizing for the short notice, you're relieved…
…
knowing you'll have extra time to complete the more urgent project.
When one aspect of a plan gets
changed…
… remind yourself that you don't
always know the subtle workings of the Universe.
Small shifts can open up huge
opportunities…
and if YOU think that YOU're in CONTROL…
you may struggle with the Law of
Attraction.
Allow
for the timing of events to work for YOU,
and try to “go with the flow”.
Be open to what might be a random
occurrence, and look for ways that everything is working out.
The universe is on your side even
when you don't SEE it.
* Goal-Oriented
When you apply the Laws of
Attraction to your life…
YOU are training your SELF to be
focused on YOUR desires more often.
If you practice every day and have
* a clear
* positive intention of what you
want to attract
* your goals will seem to manifest
themselves.
Giving yourself a GOAL to focus on…
… will make you more productive…
… and will allow the universe to set
up events that make it possible.
You will be more focused on what does work and will be able to…
… let go of old behaviors that
get you nowhere.
Observe all the ways that you are
attracting the events and circumstances that get you closer to your goal, and
evaluate what is working and what is not.
Just because something is happening
in your life does not mean it is necessarily a good thing.
The behaviors that distract you from
your goals will have some sort of “negativity attached to them”, while things that get you closer to your goal
will feel positive.
This is an excellent guide to knowing what is right for YOU.
* Feel-Good Vibes
When you start to realize your
goals, you will feel good.
If you don't feel good about it,
then you had the wrong goal to begin
with, no?
Seeing
how the Law of Attraction manifests in your life should bring more
positivity in your life.
This experience will begin to have a
snowball effect.
The more an action or situation is
contributing toward your goals, the more you will attract, the better you will
feel, the more you will attract, etc.
Once you have let go of trying to
manipulate, which feels negative, and instead, try to allow, which feels more
positive, you will be in the right frame of mind for the Law of Attraction to
work in your life. Follow what feels good, and don't invest so much in what
doesn't.
The Law of Attraction can be very subtle or very loud.
If you are not looking for it…
… it will have to speak louder and
louder.
I call this "sledgehammer
guidance," and…
… it often comes with a painful
lesson to make its point.
It is much easier to actively watch
and listen for clues from the universe than to wait for the right answer to
klunk you on the head – literally (OR heart for me). CommentJ
You'll
increase your ability to attract more
and…
… easily manifest your dreams if you
are open to receive.

Unforgettable
Nat King Cole
"Unforgettable"
A wander... never lost
may seek only to discover
may seek only to discover
the treasures buried
deep within our heart
________________________________
________________________________
On this journey of remembering
in the dance between the ego and the heart
the light holding space for
love to re-awaken within
us.

"What A Wonderful World" ~ Louis Armstrong

The dark lurking to trap us into
* fear and
* victim hood (THE HOOD)
… we all experience those moments
where we feel as if we are caught up in the middle of the crossfire.
We may wander on our path and in our
life, but we are never truly lost. We are being initiated into our
heart because it is time to communicate in the language of love.
The Divine Feminine is emerging with
the powerful inner knowing of the Sacred within All, for she is the vertical…
Connection
with Source (energetic creation stream)… and
the Inner World of intuition.
Within her Womb of Creatrix dwells
her senses of receptivity and allowance for all of Creation to emerge and
transform from seed to blossom.
Her heart is sending out a telepathic signal to the Divine Masculine’s heart… to actualize
spirit into form.
He is the Guardian of her Womb…
With HIS sense of…
* strength
* willpower
* and determination
HE is moving the expression of her heart into form, “telepathically” within the thought and spoken
word.
He is the horizontal, the Outer
World, the Mind and the movement of form into the physical realm.
The Sacred Union of the Divine
Masculine and Feminine is the merging of…
* the mind
* the body
* and the heart
… to operate as one unified being in alignment
with Spirit (born of oneness spirit)…
where the mind (HIM) follows the
heart (HER) and thus the knowing of the Sacred
within All is the Wisdom of Spirit
embodied.
She became the wounded healer, the suppression of the heart and the disconnection
from Source.
The Inner World became the unholy… (THOUGHTS…
DARK BEHAVIORS played out in the astral realms) and the language of the DIVINE
ONE (HER)… was forgotten and lost.
HE, the Fallen Guardian of her
Sacred Womb… became the warrior of patriarchy…
Where the MIND began dancing with
the SHADOW… (she LOST heart connection to the MIND)… missing the guidance of HER
heart.
It is the GODDESS rising up within.
Reclaiming her fallen Self… and
healing the Divine Masculine into the presence of HER light.
Allowing the blossoming of the heart
to resurrect the language of HER.
The mind may once again, be guided
by her grace.
How to Raise Your Vibration
YOU ARE
VAST BEYOND YOUR ABILITY TO MEASURE
As received by Gillian MacBeth-Louthan
As received by Gillian MacBeth-Louthan
As We come forth to unseal the
envelope of your light.
We ask you, as you sit on this threshold of starriness,...
To see each and every one of your separate selves as a galaxy, as a
constellation, as a star in the heavens.
For one day, each one of you will be
exactly that.
Just as Mother Earth is on her way
to becoming a star through all of her earthen children, you too are programmed
to become more than you can currently see..
One day you will become as a
planetary event that ascends through all of your life forms.
As you move into the stellar horizon
of becoming a constellation or becoming a star –you will far exceed the
expectation you have of your SELF.
YOU: see your SELVES as meek and
incomplete.
WE: see you as tiny starting points
of galaxies yet to be seen and of stars yet to be born.
YOU: are vast beyond your ability to
measure.
YOU are vast beyond your ability to
remember.
YOU are vast beyond your ability to
see.
YOU are not a twinkle in some man’s
eye or some women’s body
YOU are a twinkle in God’s Heart.
YOU are not just a human
ascending, you are seedling stars and galaxies and tomorrows.
YOU have not crawled from the sludge
of the earth to be a slave to anything.
YOU have come from the Light and it
is there that you must search for your mirror reflection.
YOU now enter into a new
recollection of just how simple it is to instruct unformed molecules into
matter.
YOU do not have to wait for a
planetary line up or a holy day.
YOU do not have to wait until
someone on the Internet tells you it is time to pray.
YOU do not have to wait until Sunday
to be holy.
YOU are the Event that you so
seek.
Do not allow the instructions and
intentions of others to tell YOU when to BIRTH your dream. .
You have each beaten a path forward
in time beyond the mass consciousness...
Beyond the mass understanding. You streak as a falling star towards
what your heart yearns for.
Do not stop and wait for the mass
consciousness to catch up...
because you will sit on your laurels through many a
cold winter and hot summer.
YOU are given opportunity after
opportunity to shift, to change, to grow, to become more.
Do not forget to accept the gifts
that life gives you. The bounty that this land gives YOU.
The gifts that are just for YOU and YOU alone. We are the Pleiadian energies. Stretch your wings.
Stretch your perimeters examine the
limitations that you have placed around your SELF. As a CREATOR...
why have YOU chosen
this experience?
YOU are the TRUE treasures.
YOU are the true riches.
YOU are what you seek.
YOU say "NO THING" has changed? .................................................................................
