HOW IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP?

             How is Your Relationship?

Marilyn L. Redmond, BA. ABH. IBRT

 Is your relationship functional? Is it a win-win partnership? Do you try to protect yourself from harm and feel like a victim in survival? My neighbor said, that she thought I had the perfect marriage. I looked good while I was dying on the inside.

What a surprise when I found myself getting help because my relationship had become traumatic I heard a new word, codependency. What is codependency? This is the definition for codependency in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.  A psychological condition or a relationship in which a person manifesting low self-esteem and a strong desire for approval has an unhealthy attachment to another often controlling or manipulative person (such as a person with an addiction to alcohol or drugs) broadly: dependence on the needs of or in control by another.

What’s more, a codependent person does not recognize the responsibility individuals have for their own behavior and for seeking change. On the other hand, the other person in the codependent relationship may also be a narcissist. The dictionary   explains narcissism, as an extremely self-centered person who has an exaggerated sense of self-importance.

A friend suggested I go for help and I knew I needed help. I first heard the term co-dependent when I was in treatment for codependency in a hospital setting. . With three weeks in treatment, I found answers that my behavior and thinking were not realistic. I had always felt, hopeless and helpless. I was without any understanding about an honest and healthy relationship. Each day in treatment, I received information, .films, learned meditation, and attended a discussion circles with other women in the same hospital program. My answer was to try suicide out of my dysfunctional marriage.  

Realizing I was emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically dependent on other people, especially my parents, relatives, and a few acquaintances, was a rude awakening. It took years later to realize my co-dependency was with a narcissist. Furthermore, the psychiatrist called my husband's behavior that of a psychopath “Some people try to be tall by cutting off the heads of others.” —Paramahansa Yogananda. In addition, gaslighting can be a major part of the dominant one in the relationship. Gaslighting is a form of manipulation that causes someone to lose his or her sense of perception and self-worth. I found all these labels of behavior could merge. They combine to become a person's personality for survival.

Discovering I was the other side of this kind of relationship was alarming. I never saw myself as anything but a nice, quiet wife, teacher, and mother. .At one point I realized my husband and I were both two peas in the same pea pod. I understood that like attracts like. I acted out my characteristics passively and he acted out as the aggressor in the game of Passive- Aggressive Behavior. I had to change me to not attract another unhealthy person in my life.

Raised in a family where the adults never emotionally grew up, as their background did not provide love, respect, or caring. There was no nurturing, fostering my emotional life, or hugs. The bottle was propped up at my feedings. The baby book at the time, told parents not to pick up the child when crying; I was never attended to, for resolving my troubles. As I grew into childhood, there was no talk, no trust, and no communications. I was to do the chores; I never received a compliment, thank you, or acknowledgement of the job being done, there was just another chore. This developed into my being an overachiever and workaholic looking for love and recognition. In school I did not make friends easily as a result of my not feeling apart of the family, I did not know how to be a friend or in a group. I felt lonely, friendless, and an outcast.

Even though I sat first chair for the flute in the bands and orchestras, won awards for my successes as Valedictorian, and was the first member of the family to graduate from college. My stepfather years 30 year later said, "We did not get you a college graduation gift, did we?" I was never recognized or validated as a living human being. 

My teachers acknowledged my work in good grades; I hoped my parents would do the same. In college, I found a fellow who did acknowledge me. I did not understand at the time that he was just as ignored and abused in his childhood. We dated in college and became engaged. We married. I was thinking I could change him. Over time, life became more abusive than from my family. Without co-dependency  treatment I would never had any tools to leave the marriage.

Learning about self-esteem, self-love, and that I had a Heavenly Father who loved me was new. I now based my life in reality that I was worthy and have love within my heart. Financial insecurity was a big concern. It took some time to be brave enough to divorce, as I had no idea what I would do on my own.

Over time, I learned to forgive my husband and family. I prayed what I wanted, abundance, health, love, and more for those who had mistreated me. Praying brought a new perspective to my life. This bought compassion. I looked to religion, people who were experts, answers in books, government, education, medicine, and others; I read countless biographies trying to find how other people lived their lives. I have come to understand my past taught me to look outside myself for the answers to life.

It was not until I found a spiritual path in treatment that I learned to mediate and listen to my heart. Finally, I found the real answers to life. Instead of being a barnacle to someone to take care of me, I now rely on my inner self, the God within, to take care of me and provide all the answers I need for each situation. Life is an inside job. I changed my focus to trust myself and not others for my happiness and wellbeing. Learning to trust myself has taken time, but I make my own decisions today.

With several years of reprogramming my thoughts, words, and actions from a fear base life into a love based life. I changed and became a magnet to attract a healthy partner. I became the person I wanted in a relationship. The answers had always been within. Currently, I am in a healthy relationship of over 25 years. I had been looking for love in all the wrong places.

Today, as a citizen of the universe, I love myself and have healed the past. I wrote my story and how I changed myself in my book, "Paradigm Busters" at Amazon. Today, I accept the perfect love of God and know that I am dearly loved. In my relationship, we are responsible for ourselves and share our experiences.  It is a win-win companionship.

LIFE IS AN INSIDE JOB

LIFE IS AN INSIDE JOB

By Marilyn L Redmond

 

What is co-decency? Codependency: a psychological condition or a relationship in which a person manifesting low self-esteem and a strong desire for approval has an unhealthy attachment to another often controlling or manipulative person (such as a person with an addiction to alcohol or drugs) broadly: dependence on the needs of or on control by another. This is the definition for codependency in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. 

 What’s more, a codependent person does not recognize the responsibility individuals have for their own behavior and for seeking change. The other person in the realationship may be narcissist. The dictionary   explains Narcissism, as an extremely self-centered person who has an exaggerated sense of self-importance. I found over time that these seem to go together in an unhealthy relationship.

 A friend suggested I go for help and I knew I needed help I first heard the term co-dependent when I was in treatment for codependency in a hospital setting. . I had no idea what codependency was or what it meant at that time.

With three weeks in treatment, I found answers that my behavior and thinking were not realistic. I was without any way to be in an honest and healthy relationship. Each day I received information, .films, learned meditation, and attended a discussion circle of other women in the same hospital program. Realizing I had a life style that did not work was not new to me, but I had no way to address it. My answer was to try suicide out of my domestic violence marriage of alcoholism, mental illness, rage, and addictions.

Realizing I was emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically dependent on other people, especially my parents, husband, relatives, and a few acquaintances, was a rude awakening. This extended into my marriage even though I was trying to find healthier surroundings. I am still finding the depths of my neediness and reliance on others many years later. However, my neediness no longer predominates as it did in the past.

It took years later to realize my co-dependency was with a narcissist. The psychiatrist called my husband's behavior that of a psychopath “Some people try to be tall by cutting off the heads of others.” —Paramahansa Yogananda Also gaslighting can be a major part of the dominant one in the relationship. Gaslighting is a form of manipulation that causes someone to lose his or her sense of perception and self-worth. I found all these labels of behavior could be combined. They combine to become a person's personality for survival.

Discovering I was the other side of this kind of relationship was alarming. He was my mirror. I never saw myself as anything but a nice, quiet wife, teacher, and mother. I had a mask to protect myself and look good to others. .At one point I realized my husband and I were both two peas in the same pea pod. I had a similar emotional past as he did. I understood that like attracts like. I acted out my characteristics passively and he acted out as the aggressor in the game of passive aggressive behavior. I had to change me not to attract another unhealthy person in my life.

With years of recovery, I have come into a more complex understanding of my dependence. I was raised in a family that never grew up themselves, as their background did not provide love, respect, or caring. There was no nurturing, fostering of my emotional life, or hugs. In my day, there was a baby-raising book that did not encourage holding or other touching; I was not held to be bottle-fed. The bottle was propped up to feed me. The book told the parents not to pick up the child when crying; so I was never attended to, for resolving my troubles. As I grew into childhood, there was no talk, no trust, and no communications. I was to do the chores; I never received a compliment, thank you, or acknowledgement of the job being done, there was just another chore. This developed into my being an overachiever and workaholic looking for love and recognition. I found his childhood was no better.

In school, I did not make friends easily as a result of not being part of the family, I did not know how to be a friend or in a group. I felt lonely, disserted, and the outcast from people. Even thought I sat in the first chair for the flute in the band and orchestra, won awards for my successes as Valedictorian, and was the first member of the family to graduate from college. There was no recognition. My stepfather years 30 year later said, "We did not get you a college graduation gift, did we?" Moreover, I never did get a gift or other acknowledgement of many achievements. I was never recognized or validated as a living human being. 

I found myself looking outside myself for answers that were not there at home. My teachers acknowledged my work in good grades; I hoped my parents would do the same. In college, I found a fellow who did acknowledge me. I had found a person who I could talk with easily. I did not understand at the time that was because he was just as ignored and abused in his childhood. We dated in college and were engaged, when I realized his anger was more than I could deal with. 

However, with a baby on the way, we got married. Over time, life became more abusive as in my family growing up. I had brought my old self into a new circumstance that resembled what I thought I had left. At the end, he was trying to kill me and I was trying suicide to get out of the miserable situations. Without co-dependency treatment, I would never have had any tools to leave the marriage.

Learning about self-esteem, self-love, and that I had a Heavenly Father who loved me was new. I could now identify the resentments, angers, guilt, and shame of the past and let them go. I learned to let go and let God. I now base my life in reality that I am worthy and have love within my heart.. I found the God within.

After my divorce, over time, I learned to forgive my abusers and family. I prayed what I wanted, abundance, health, love, and more, for those that had mistreated me. This is about giving up the past for a new day. I wanted to move into living my life on a daily basis without being triggered from the past. Praying brought a new perspective to my life. I realized my parents had worse childhoods than I did and did the best they could. This bought compassion. I could feel their pain. I continue to pray for them, it keeps me humble.

I have come to understand my past taught me to look outside myself for the answers to life. I looked to religion, people who were experts, answers in books, government, education, medicine, and others; I read biographies trying to find how other people lived their lives. It was not until I found a spiritual path that I  learned to mediate and listen to my heart where I found the real answers to life. I read in 'A Course in Miracles" that says, " Noting outside yourself can save you; nothing outside yourself can give you peace."  

This meant I found that I could find my answers within when I listen to my intuition from my heart and in meditation. Instead of being a barnacle to someone to take care of me, I can rely on my inner self, the God within, to take care of me and provide all the answers I need for each situation. Life is an inside job.

I had to change me to become a magnet to attract a partner that I truly wanted. With several years of reprogramming my thoughts, words, and actions from a fear base life into a love based life. I did find a fellow who was healthy. With over 25 years in a relationship of unconditional love, I know you can do it too.

I had depended on the wrong answers for life. Finding the real me and knowing that I am part of the universe created in love has given me a sense of power and acceptance for which I l always longed. There is nothing wrong with me and there never was. I had been looking for love in all the wrong places. Today, as a citizen of the universe, I love myself and have healed the past. I wrote my story and how I changed myself in my book, "Paradigm Busters" at Amazon. Today, I I accept the perfect love of God and know that I am dearly loved. In my relationship, we are responsible for ourselves and share our experiences. Each day is an adventure.

LIFE IS ABOUT CHOICE--YOUR CHOICE

 

                                                               Marilyn L. Redmond 

Life is About Choice—Your Choice

 

By Marilyn L Redmond

 

It may seem like the roof is caving in, all of life is fanatical, with taxes and wars never ending. Have you noticed that when life has smoothed out then another issue arises? The vicissitudes of life are there for a reason. Ultimately, they bring balance.  

Our lives have a purpose and each event, good or bad, have meaning for us to examine. The ones we call bad are there to teach us a lesson. What did the situation emotionally trigger in you? Did you get angry, get revenge, or get sullen. Is that how you dealt with this kind of situation growing up or early in your life? Do you continue to react in this kind of life situation and things seem to never change?

When I was older, I learned that I had to change with a new response instead of acting from my old ways. I did not have to stay in my immature childish ways of acting. I had been reacting from some kind of fear. In my early growing up, my parents did the best that they could, but as a child, I did not see it that way, In my feeling insecure, feeling a lack of, feeling lonely, or rejected. I wanted love, caring, and hugs saying I love you.   

Being naïve, I married and recreated the family in which I grew up. The roof was still caving in after a few years. I was not taught about how life worked or how to have trust, communications, or feelings. I was stuck at a young age, emotionally. I remember at the age of five telling myself, "If being an adult is about fighting every night, then I do not want to grow up." 

I continued my immaturity into my fifties, married as a teacher, mother, and working in the family business. I was never given a choice. I was a great "doer". Through circumstances, I found a spiritual program that had information very new to me. My first insight was that I had been living in fear. In addition, my new information had answers different from the religion in which I was raised.

I found new answers to be helpful in all parts of my life. I could respond to life situations in loving resolutions, instead of my old ways. I learned that I was like a magnet in the fear and the fearful situations kept coming to me. Making a list of the fears and reframing them into positive thoughts was bringing better results.  When I saw that this was improving my life, I continued to find my guilt, shame, jealousy, and other negative thinking to restate them into positive perceptions called affirmations.

I could claim the truth about myself. I was not unworthy, without value, or used merchandize. I could substitute the positive for the negative. This brought truth into my life. Continuing through many years of self-searching, prayer, and meditation to replace the misinformation, lies, and false beliefs was my inner work. Each time brought more peace and grace into my life. I felt a relief as my awareness moved into a higher consciousness of a beneficent universe that created it all. I began to see that the fear had blocked my vision of truth, where all is good. The fear was an illusion and blocked the truth that love is reality.

Making this change takes faith and trust in a higher power. I saw myself walk into the hands of a loving Creator leaving the past behind. I chose to have a life seeing the positive in all things. With my new choices over time, I moved more into a higher realization. Life was becoming better, I felt better, and I could see that life is good. I was going through a transition into new understandings about life. Ultimately, I gave up beliefs and now come from my heart instead of my head.

I could give up the judgment I learned so well from my mother. This allows me to be in a non-judgmental awareness about life and people. In changing myself, I became a new person as if I had a new pair of glasses. I finally realized they were my teachers to teach me to turn to "The Father of Light" in all things. Love and light are the same energy.  

The past anguish brought me to turn to a loving universe for help and support. If I stayed in my pain and anger, I could not have grown into my new world of seeing life and those challenges as opportunities to grow and mature. I would have remained immature and childish. I found forgiveness and compassion for those in my past that brought on difficult situations. Gradually, I was able to thank them in prayer, as they had past.

I have grown up and am grateful for all the good things I did not glimpse before. Learning to "let go and let God", I no longer needed to run from life. I could accept life on life's terms, even if I was not thrilled about it. I do not resist, but accept it learning the lesson to move beyond my old thoughts, words, or actions. I can choose to have love be my guide and foundation in life's experiences. Those experiences become wisdom. This brings joy and fills me with the love I always wanted and was only hidden. . Love never fails.

A New Message For You 

Do not miss her wonderful information. Your life can move into a higher consciousness. It is possible to change your mind to find love within our hearts that brings a healthy life leaving the fearful past behind. Open your heart to the light within your heart and allow your intuition to bring directions and guidance for an enhanced experience. Your  intuition will give you the answers. 

 Allow your awareness to move into a larger comfort zone of unconditional where there is no judgment. Living in the moment is a gift and that is why it is called The Present. We were created in that love and the planet was a loving energy originally. Love is reality.

 Those not choosing to return to love will remain in the duality of good and bad, right and wrong, judgment and criticism. Their lessons will continue for them to find the love within that resolves those conflicts and issues in their lives. Now is the time to choose to move back into our true nature as a child of a loving universe.  

As a highly regarded healer, Marilyn Redmond’s life mission is focused on restoring the planet mind, body, and spirit. Her incredible work as an ordained minister, spiritual counselor, past life regressionist, past life therapist, and teacher has led her on many paths to help her clients.

 She also channels Ascended Masters, Archangels, and our loved ones who have passed over to the other side which gives us incredible comfort and assurance. Marilyn is the author of 11 books, including Road to Success; Paradigm Busters, Reveal the Real You; Roses Have Thorns; and The Real Meaning of 2012: A New Paradigm for Bringing Heaven to Earth, Finding Reality Beyond Fear, and her latest book called A Spark of Truth.

 "The Spark of Truth" is another eye opener and with determination, perseverance, and her own well documented research, Marilyn has sought to open our eyes to the very truth of how much are we literally being lied to and brainwashed for centuries our own government and media.

Through Marilyn’s incredible books, YouTube channel, lectures, and healing work, she teaches us that love is boundless and infinite.  She emphasizes how we need to live in the now rather than recreating the past over and over so that finally, delicately, and with self-assuredness we move into the life we are really designed to be living.

Besides her inspiring and informative healing and speaking engagements, all of Marilyn’s books are about how we can move into the purity and divine light. Marilyn urges us not to live in fear and how we can collectively change the world.

ARCHANGEL MICHAEL

My Life with Archangel Michael

By Rev. Marilyn L. Redmond 

During Christmas vacation, our family made a trip to Disneyland as our Christmas treat.  We then drove into Mexico for a few days.  On our return home, I wanted to stop at the Grand Canyon to purchase some artifacts for my classroom. As a teacher, I felt the students in my classroom needed some hands on items and pictures of the Navajo. We entered the park from the south, as we were heading north to Washington State.  The morning of our trip from Flagstaff, Arizona up to the park which is 8,000 feet up, brought an early surprise of snow.  It was forecasted for the following day.  Since we were headed for a national park, I presumed the roads would be cleared. 

There was a car coming toward us on the road of the southern entrance.  With the snow covering the road, it was not possible to see the centerline. The oncoming car was driving in what we thought was the center of the road. The road was close to the edge of the canyon.  Thinking there would be a shoulder on the right, we drove to the right for the car to have the main road as it proceeded. 

As my husband applied the brakes to slow down with their passing us, the tires slid on the ice and we found ourselves going into the air. Quickly, there were six pairs of hands holding the car as it was slowly turning upside down like in a slow motion movie.  I did not see them, but knew instinctively there were six angels holding the car as we landed upside down forty feet below the cliff on a piece of land that jutted out from the side. 

The sanding truck from the park was behind us and radioed the ranger we needed help.  Frantically, we tried to escape the car for fear of it blowing up like in the movies.  My husband and I were upside down in our seatbelts and had trouble releasing them. Our two children were in the back of the station wagon with pillows and blankets. This was before seat belt laws.

The ranger scratched his head and said there had never been an accident this bad before when everyone walked out without a scratch. The car was towed back to Flagstaff to be repaired over New Years Week end so I could return to teaching as soon as possible. Archangel Michael first knowingly appeared in my life as part of the angels who safely landed my family upside down at the Grand Canyon 40 feet below the edge of the cliff.  It was not until later that he identified himself as one of those angels.

I happened to be touring the Grand Canyon several years later on a bus with a spiritual group of Edgar Cayce members touring the southwest spiritual sites and recognized the energy of the area. I immediately saw the cliff where I  had gone off.  The road had been moved away from the precipice.

On a family vacation to Canada, we were enjoying the scenery as we drove toward Jasper from Banff. The cliff was on the right side of the car and there was no shoulder.  My husband passed out at the wheel and we were heading off the precipice.  I was spooked as in the past he got angry when I touched the steering wheel and I was too afraid to turn the wheel for the tires to head back to the direction of the road.  One angel put my hand on the wheel for the tires to turn the wheel. My angel,. Jennifer, had the front end of the car in her hands and gently placed the car back on the shoulder of the road.  My husband came to and we drove on down the mountain.

At that time, I did not know who my angels were. However, later because I was in a domestic violent marriage, I tried suicide and those angels showed themselves to me. They tied a silk rope around my arms to stop me taking the prescriptions from the psychiatrist. I did not plan to go home or be saved. Each of the angels showed themselves, but one. 

After my divorce, I was meditating and at this time Arangel Michael showed up, thirty –five years ago. . He said that he was the angel I did not see, because my energy in those days was so low that he could not lower himself enough. He was the sixth angel. He gave me the prophecy at that time about the current chaos, politics, and problems that would be coming so I would be prepared.  He told of the tyranny from the presidents and there would be great chaos and turmoil in their leaving office.  He told me to be prepared with water, food, and cash for these times of transition during our returning to the light on the planet.

Archangel Michel told me about the books, I would be writing. This prepared me for the 11 books, articles, counseling, and teaching I would be doing. I was to write, "Paradigm Busters, Reveal the Real You" as a crossover book from the 12 step programs for the general population to have the details to come into a higher consciousness.

He then appeared to me in form again, while I was touring Europe with the Edgar Cayce  spiritual group to visit the sites where Mother Mary had appeared.  I was in a Catholic Church in Spain, meditating as the weather prevented out next sacred destination. The energy that appeared next to me was the most powerful energy I had experienced.. His energy prior had not been this expansive. At first, I thought the male energy was my angel Eric. Then his booming voice said, I AM ARCHANGEL MICHAEL, LORD OF THE WAY." He came to reassure me that I was writing and teaching "The Way, The Truth and The Light.  He wanted me to be at ease as I had become doubtful and stressed about my spiritual teaching.  

Returning home from Europe, I saw him again in my art studio. He wanted me to paint his picture.  He did not want a fancy picture. In his humility he said I am not the elaborately ornamented person usually depicting me.  I asked him to tell me how to paint his picture.  I used pastels and tried to create the vision I saw. He suggested painting him as I saw him as a gauze image, in a plain while robe just larger than most angels   He wanted his hair curly.

Archangel Michael, sent several angels in human form several times to my classes and workshops to reinforce me that I was on the path with the teachings.  His presence writes my books, except for one, which was channeled by Saint Germain, "The Real  Meaning of 2012"

Now, Archangel Michael and his angels have been with me daily for many years.  My angel, Angelica, gives me the talents for spiritual counseling, soul healing, and art.  This gave me the name of Angelica's Gifts for the name of my many spiritual talents.

On a third frightful trip with a cliff in Idaho. I screamed, violently,  as I saw from the passenger seat, that the tire was on the very edge of the cliff and not an inch to spare.  This road was not used in the winter, we heard, but it would be safe during the summer. On my way to visit my daughter driving with a friend from the Shakespeare Festival in Ashland to Boise, I thought that was the end of me.

God pulled me out of my body and  had me float over the cliff as I saw the car would fall off the cliff, but I would be in spirit above watching the calamity.  He said I had nothing to fear, as I would not be in the car, just my body. These and more stories of my almost dying 13 times are included in my forthcoming book, "Divinely Protected".

I explain in my book, "Paradigm Busters" that I came from the Pleiades to help people suffering on earth. However, Archangel Michael said that I needed to experience the many issues so others would relate to me. To help others, I needed the understanding and knowledge gained from the situations to have the same energy level for others to relate with me. We would be on the same wave length.

Archangel Michael has been my guiding force to endure mental illness, 8 addictions, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual abuse, trauma, domestic violence in childhood becoming valedictorian and a 30 year marriage while I looked good in winning awards and soling with a symphony on the flute. Completing 7 years of college with honors, I struggled in surviving in more domestic violence as an excellent teacher and mother, while I was dying on the inside.

Archangel Michael stopped my husband from killing me several times. He actually removed him from our home. My husband was gone, I never saw him pack a bag or leave. I could not deal with an alcoholic, psychopath, sex addict, and rageaholic any longer. I was dying.

Archangel Michael and I now have daily conversations and marching orders in my meditations and during the day.. I have channeled him for groups in the past, and he has me writing books, (11 at this time), hundreds of articles, and columns for newspapers) becoming a soul healer, spiritual minister, painting angel portraits for others, and spiritual poetry. 

Because of my victim and traumatic past, I value the strength and knowledge that comes through me for the projects that Archangel Michael has me doing. A few that stand out are that I have grown from the emotionally shut down age of three into an adult. Another is that I ended up having two radio shows, one is saved on my web site and past recordings of the other one is on You Tube.

Currently,  he had me stop a book in progress to write 'A Spark of Truth" which is like a spiritual primer for the current political scene.  Archangel Michael wants people to know the agenda behind the current chaos in the government and planet. He told me to think of it as a hurricane and the storms were on the outer edge of the hurricane.  I was to be in the center of the hurricane which is called "The Eye" . He said, "God is in the center and I was to stay as close as possible to God in the center, and I would be okay." The book  came together so smoothly; I could not believe how easily the information fell into place, daily. It is like a concise textbook.

Tips to Improve Your Life 

By Rev. Marilyn L. Redmond

 It is possible to have better days when you understand how the energy of the universe works. Have your thought  about changing yourself to improve what appears each day? The ego mind produces fear messages and the heart has positive ones. Some days seem impossible to endure. Some days seem wonderful.

The only way out of it is to change your focus from the ego to your heart, by releasing those negative messages. When you substitute positive for inner negative talking, life changes. Most of us are taught to fear death, pain, and other challenges. Yet, to a Zen master, all are great blessings. They offer the message as an opportunity to replace the thoughts to being grateful, forgiving, and having compassion.                                   

Our true practice is to come to view suffering as a mental exercise. They guide us to let go of the ego mind, which would like us to be in pain, inadequacy, guilt, shame, attacking or peaceless, self –justification, or self-reproach. When we move our focus to our hearts, we realize the unity of all that is.

Tesla said if you want to understand the universe it is about energy, vibration, and frequency.  Edgar Cayce the great psychic of the Twentieth Century said that,  all lowest form of electrical vibration is the basis of life and For without passing through each and every stage of development, there is not the correct vibration to become one with the Creator. He also stated that, only when they become spiritual are they only positive.

 The negative are all false associations and not real. The Supreme Being of love is within us all. Only through awareness and living in alignment with our Soul can we claim this power. It is PURE LOVE. 

 Spiritual practices, mantras, or people do not give it. One must claim it and with the power of will and then to integrate it into our life. It happens when we are in a state of deep honesty and truthfulness with ourselves. This is usually called meditation.  My book, "Paradigm Busters" at Amazon has the guidelines to release the barriers within that stop love.  https://www.amazon.com/Paradigm-Busters-Reveal-Real-You/dp/1530940117/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.J0haSKOvcY8pu15wTVgVHeJgC6nYDpkQeJk21e1wH3RQaTuyTJfFCqbxzhSGR5au8qFvKrvDF0TDsKQhV40z063Pew1T4laTHxuvQskEqvk.QVibyauuNfxcH0wkWPacZSH7Pgl0ptN6dKUAbwNQO1k&qid=1721506003&sr=1-1

 If we allow our inner voice. of the ego to be at cause, its sting is worse than a sword. Alternatively, let us focus on remaining in unwavering stillness. Do not react, but move instead into that state that dissolves into the pureness of our being, which is Love. Tune into the breath. Move into the mind of silent presence. This vital life force or equanimity is what you are. It cannot be lost. Heartfelt remembering guides one to be true to oneself.

You either project the ego-based feelings of low vibrations or choose to move into higher vibrations that characterize love such as kindness, patience, caring, gratitude, or forgiveness. Because thoughts are things and have their effect upon individuals, especially those that become overly sensitive to outside influences. They become just as physical as sticking a pin in the hand. This pain is passed on to others.  Through transforming your inner self into being positive instead of negative,  projects out to others and then what you see, hear, experience returns to you.  They mirror back you what you projected. People are a mirror to you.

Your experience is telling you what you need to change in you. When I was able to identify each of my fears and lack of trust in people because of my past, I replaced them with love and grace. I changed from being a very shy, withdrawn, and afraid little gift inside to becoming myself.  When I turned that into realizing the all people are friends I have not yet met. I found my shyness disappeared over time, and today I am able to reach out to others, and enjoy having new friends.  What goes around comes around.

The following suggestions help to turn my life into a new adventure of being in the party instead of the wallflower. These tips remind me how to respond in life instead of react from my fear, guilt, shame, and other lower vibrations that are not the real me.

 1.  Make peace with our past so it will not disturb your present.

2.      2.What other people think of you is none of your business.

3.      3.Time heals almost everything, give it time.

4.       4.Only you are in charge of your happiness.

5.      5.Do not compare your life to others; their path is different from their                      experiences.

6.      6. Do not judge others as they came with their own set of life experiences to             resolve.

7.      7.Move from your ego/brain into your heart to find the answers. They will                come to you when you least expect them.

8.      8. Smile, you are only responsible for your reactions to life.

The process described in  "Paradigm Busters" is very effective to do an inner house cleaning which brings great results. We learn to live in the now and release the past fears, resentments, and immature conduct.  Living in the "Now" is reality. When I am in the moment it is a gift and that is why it is called The Present.

There is an additional way to move into being present in your life and to no longer carry the baggage of the past. When you send prayers to the person, that is upsetting you, and then the energy shifts as you are projecting out what you want for yourself. Your feelings will change about the situation or person. A way to do this is praying 4 short thoughts to the other person on a daily basis for two weeks. .  It is called The Ho'oponopono Prayer.   It releases the past baggage to enjoy being in reality.

Ho'oponopono Prayer

I am sorry.

Please forgive me.

Thank you.

I love you.
