Sorting the Truth from the False

 

                                                                     Marilyn L. Redmond 

There were several unspoken laws in our family. I lived in a lack of truth as telling the truth was a slip-up. Consequently, I did not tell myself the truth and lived in the fantasy of pretending that our family had no problems and that we were all right.

 In the last column, I wrote about breaking the rule of "no talk". In my adult life, I no longer had to pretend. Instead of hiding the real story, it was essential for me to find a safe place to break the long time silence. Fortunately, there are support and recovery programs that support the ability to tell the truth with no reprisal. It became possible to share my fears and secrets safely when I found a higher power that would love me, no matter what I related from my past.

 My earliest memories were watching my parents deal with life. As a child growing up, I never questioned their reactions to life situation. I lived in their lack of reality. Finally, I had to separate the truth from the false. This was frightening because I would finally have to remove my mask of looking good.  

 Breaking the code of silence was very scary at first. Was I betraying my family by stepping out of the shadows into the light of truth? I found enough courage to open up and expose the truth because I wanted out of my hell. At first, I wrote out my resentments, fears, and behaviors that plagued me. Facing these facts was not easy after years of hiding them.

 My first honesty was with a counselor. A bigger picture enfolded seeing my denials, selfishness, and dishonesty. Cleaning up my side of the street was becoming necessary to bring facts into the issues. I never saw myself without liabilities before. It became obvious to me while discussing my reactions to life challenges, I had acted like the scared child that I was. I was still three years old seeing life through my survival eyes of seeing my father beat my mother. I had never grown up. I tried to be perfect so I would not be physically attacked. Seeing where I was fearful brought new insights.

 I found that my biggest fear came from trying to avoid bodily harm. Discovering that as an adult, I could remove myself from unsafe places, was life changing. This would give me the ability emotionally to grow up. Claiming my power as a child of a loving higher power gave me the courage to take care of me. It was time to grow up.

 Surprisingly, I found a new understanding after my opening up with a trusted friend who understood what I wanted to accomplish. It was the right time to start my journey of honesty, with myself and another person. One important piece of awareness was that every time I pointed my finger of blame there were three fingers pointing back at me, she informed me. If I were blaming others, I was not taking responsibility for my part.

 I realized that my survival had created a selfish person by using others for my security. I was looking for love from parents who could not love. I married thinking I would find love. Growing up, I reacted in fear that I learned from my parents along with fear I experienced from my own abuse. As an adult, I have a choice to respond more appropriately.

Sharing my hurts and harms of growing up and from my abusive marriage were finally being told. As my parents had severe childhoods growing up, they had not matured, either. They could not teach me how to respond in loving solutions to life issues. I was looking for love in all the wrong places. My favorite quote from A Course in Miracles, says, “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. It is not necessary to seek for what is true, but it is necessary to seek for what is false.”

  I could release my fears as I moved into faith. Recognizing that I could not have faith and fear at the same time gave me choice. I prefer to walk in faith today and have outgrown the childish fearful reactions of my past. Now, I understood that I could move forward into a new adventure of being fearless.

 My new journey was forward into the light, leaving the darkness. After responding in a positive way to life challenges, it feels like I am in the presence of love. I heard the phrase, "Turn to your Father of Light in all things". It now became clear to me the light would dispel the darkness as turning on the light switch in a dark room.

 More understanding came as I sorted out my old thinking and ideas. I had worried about my financial insecurity from my mother's stressful childhood. Now, I realized that I always had a roof over my head and food at dinner.

 My biggest illumination came while sorting out the truth from a childhood request. During the episode of seeing my dad beat by mother, I prayed to be off the face of the earth so he would not beat me, too. It was like a death wish. Every drink of alcohol or pill was a nail in my coffin. My addictions were killing me from the death wish of a three year old.

 I finally understood that my father was never going to beat me. He treated me like a princess. I had spent a life living out the need to protect myself based in a false belief of a three year old. I emotionally had blocked his kindness to me from my false belief that I would be physically hurt like my mother. Recognizing that the arguments between my mother and dad were about their difficulties and not about me brought a new awareness. Releasing the past and future fantasies from my head is a gradual victory. I no longer need to listen to my brain’s messages that kept repeating from events that hold no meaning anymore.

 Understanding that I wrote my life’s script to move my energy into unreserved love was a new piece of information. Transforming my thinking to forgiveness, compassion, gratitude, and unconditional love gave me a new perception. I can now see through the eyes of God and know all is good.  These people played their parts for me to discover reality. I could move from a fear-based life into a love- based life. I can choose to be a love-finder rather than a faultfinder. Finally, I found my inner peace.

 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Does Perseverance lead to Success?

 

 

Perseverance was not a word originally in my vocabulary.  Growing up I was given all the chores to be done or else! I diligently completed the tasks to not be punished.  If there were a spare moment for me, my mother would say, "I have another job for you, now that one is done."  This left little time to play with the neighborhood kids.

 In college, like earlier, the work had to be done. When the students went to the beach, I would remain doing my schoolwork. This diligence paid off as I graduated with honours.  Those that had fun instead of sticking to the books were not in my graduating class. I did not see myself as deprived; my plan was to finish college.

 Another way I learned conscientiousness during my teen years was daily practicing on my flute to make sure I was ready for my next lesson or performance.  This was not a problem as it did get me out of chores, sometimes.  It paid off handsomely, as I won a music scholarship for college. Furthermore, in my junior year, I won the right to solo with a symphony. 

 I quickly learned each new challenge. When it came to owning a business with my husband, I was able to keep doing the work necessary to have the printing ready for the customer the next day.  At times it was difficult to stay late at night to complete the work, with the children sleeping in the back of the station wagon before I could go home.

 The next morning we were out the door with all the meals done for the day and getting to the print shop on time. Arriving one morning, being so tired, I doubted I would make it through the day.  Thank goodness, I got a second wind that lasted all summer, before I had to return to my teaching job in the fall. I told myself, that all this effort better pay off later in life and it did handsomely.  Upon retiring, I did reap the financial benefits of all the work.

 Later, I left teaching for health reasons and was now on my own.  Writing became my next venture.  I wrote mornings until lunch, returning to writing until evening, for years. I used the first draft for a college class I taught, the second draft to match current book trends, and the last version was from the advice of my mentor.  

 For twenty-five years, I had a sense of being driven.  Interruptions and a few vacations did stop my progress. Sometimes I took the book to work on while the others went sightseeing.  I celebrated the publication of "Paradigm Busters, Reveal the Real You" now available at Amazon.  I did workshops to introduce my book and many You Tubes to promote it.  

I move on to the next project; I just do the next right thing in front of me.  Doing each new task appearing without judgment has paid off for me. I do not judge it as hard, or easy; I just "do it", as the Nike slogan says. I learned that judgment stops progress.

With this attitude  I produced ten books. Some are now internationally distributed to prisons, and used as a study book. I have produced and hosted two radio shows. As a counselor, hypnotherapist, speaker, teacher, medium, and artist, I never have a dull moment. My many articles and monthly columns reveal how I achieved a conscious oneness healing my traumatic life.

My work has been recognized worldwide and in the United States for the information, help, and tools to provide for growth beyond disease and difficulties into health and well-being. Perseverance has brought me a rich and full life.

 

 

The Truth Is Coming

 OMG: A quote from the comments section of Sky News, reporting on the Biden hard drive scandal:
“Trump gave up his life of luxury for his country. Biden gave up his country for a life of luxury!”
The evidence mounts.

The Whole Truth About The Law of Attraction

 

                                                    Marilyn L. Redmond 

 

Nowadays people are aware of The Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction came into my awareness when the video, "The Secret", became popular in 2006. Most people had not heard about universal laws earlier. This information opened a door that had been closed.

Discussing the video at lunch with fellow spiritual people some were adamant about how exceptional it was. One person at the table, who I felt was more spiritual, had a problem with it. He felt that most important information was left out. Some people were telling that The Secret did not work. One woman interviewed needed money for her expenses, but it did not bring in money to her but put her more in debt

I found that Abraham, who is channeled by Ester Hicks,  was not included in a second edition of "The Secret".  Ester Hicks said she would not reframe the message to comply with the request of Rhonda Byrne, the writer and promoter of the video to eliminate necessary information to manifest the desired results. 

This censorship also occurred in a very famous book by Napoleon Hill. In his book, "Think and Grow Rich". The story is that he had to leave out the very point that made "Think and Grow Rich", achievable The publisher would not publish his book with the full contents that was written, originally.  He rewrote the book to get it published leaving out what he wanted to share.

An additional story is that a professional woman wrote a spiritual book with the full truth and sent it to a famous publishing house of spiritual material. Because of the reputation of the company and her wish for their prestige of the company to help produce sales, she complied with leaving out the information she initially was sharing.

Currently, Abraham has made it clear that the energy of the person needs to match your aspiration. "The Law of Attraction is the Universal manager of all Vibration, which expands to everything that exists through the Universe. And so, at the same time that the Law of Attraction is responding to the Vibrational content of your physical thoughts, it is also responding to the Vibrational content of your Inner Being. "---Abraham

The cat is now out of the bag. We are a universe of energy with vibrations and frequencies according to Tesla. Learning the complete answer that it is about matching energies brings this knowledge into useable reality. Knowing that the individual has more power in their lives and does not need to be dependent on the government and cultural organizations for their needs changes the system. This influences all parts of our lives including medicine, income, career paths, education, and religion. 

Those behind the scene in our daily lives have deceived the public to keep control. They censor our books; follow our conversations, internet searching, and write history books to eliminate their actions that have influenced all parts of our lives.  

I lived in domestic violence and abuse most of my life until I was divorced in 1990. I attended church hoping my life would get better. I responded to my husband's attacks saying, "I am not hurting you, please do not hurt me".  I had to apply the Laws of Attraction in my life to live. I found in changing my energies from fear into love, I attracted a 19-year relationship of unconditional love. I attracted what I became. Are you ready to change your consciousness to attract what is meaningful to you?

I Changed My Mindset About Business

 

I  Changed My Mindset About Business

By Marilyn L. Redmond

My life has been a road of finding a new philosophy that works for me. Being in a marriage where my husband left teaching to start a business, I was there to help and learn the world of business, too. His goal was to become a millionaire like his best friend from grade school. His pal growing up inherited his fortune. However, my husband wanted to feel as good as his friend who was well off financially.

 

I became the bookkeeper, front desk receptionist, plate maker, and other jobs in out printing shop. I enjoyed preparing the printing for the press, learning about accounting, and helping the customers. I worked every hour when I was not teaching school or home with the children and household responsibilities, to keep the expenses down. This was a great school for me to learn about the world of business.

 

Because, I received an inheritance, my husband purchased property to build our own building. The places we rented did not have the proper temperature control for printing certain types of paper requiring lower heat, especially during hot summer months. The building had space for additional rental areas. The idea of expanding the rental part of our business became a reality when he bought the lot adjacent to our original building for another building to lease.

 

My husband's goal was to own the whole block as his friend owned a whole block in a nearby town. It was a real lesson in the procedure to build a building and meeting city codes. The frustration was great, as the town did not support small business and its growth. He charged through all the difficult challenges resulting in our now having two buildings providing more rents in addition to the printing income.

 

Life changed, when I had to divorce him for my personal protection. The domestic violence was growing worse and I finally had to remove myself from a mini business empire he was building. Through this separation, I found a new mind set for my future life on my own.

 

Beneficially, I received the new building in the divorce settlement. However, I wanted to start a business as a counselor, regressionist, medium, author, and artist. My interest was in helping others and bringing wisdom to unanswered issues in life. I found myself in knowledge that most people did not understand, because I had healed many medical and relationship problems without medications.

 

I created a name to cover my many talents as an umbrella for my work. One of my angels is Angelica and I named my cat after Angelica. My friend suggested I use that as the name for my business. Angelica's Gift's describes my spiritual gifts that help my assisting others to find resolutions to their medical, emotional, and personal problems.

 

 My motivation was not to become a millionaire as my husband was driven.  My purpose became supporting others to find a life path of reality and love leading to inner peace, without medications and typical medical answers. My mission was to bring truth for people to resolve life challenges in loving solutions. This included volunteering to help those that could not afford healing from traditional agencies and helping those looking for alternative answers for their health issues.

 

My office was in my home and additional room became my therapy room where I met with my clients. Then the opportunity to produce and have two radio shows appeared at different times, which helped spread the word of new answers for an improved life. Speaking at metaphysical groups and teaching in colleges brought more income and clients.

 

I made enough to cover the business expenses, but not a large profit. It felt like God was paying me to learn what I needed to share with others. My rents from the second building and investments were paying the bills for my traveling around the world to spiritual sights for healing my health, mental, and relationship problems. These became the basis of all my work, writing, counseling, and teaching. I learned about healing energies from my experiences.

 

One day, I was traveling in my car up the freeway to Seattle, WA, to a day program where I had been asked to share this information. You are a success.  This brought the realization that life for me was not about how much money I made, but in sharing my knowledge and understanding about the universal energy in our lives can heal our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual lives. When I am doing the work of my Creator, my expenses are paid.    

 

Understanding that success was helping others without looking for payment to make ends meet was not the answer to success. Life was comfortable and I felt contented without a huge bank account. I am financially secure and happy in my life. My inner life is a success and it is not about how others judge from their agendas.

 

 I received notice that my books are being distributed internationally to prisons in addition to the United States prison program of the Edgar Cayce's Association for Research and Enlightenment organization. The thrill of this was wonderful. I am helping beyond my country for others to find a better path in life.

 

A week ago, I received a phone call that I had been nominated for the prestigious book, "Who's Who in America" which identifies outstanding people. This organization, has acknowledged that I am contributing to the good of our world. My work has been accredited in America and worldwide. To me these recognitions are more important than the dollars in the bank. I have contributed to humanity.

Accepted into "Who's Who In America"

 

I have been called "A Miracle". I grew up in a dysfunctional family of alcoholism, mental illness, domestic violence, with PTSD from a life of abuse. Unknowingly, I married what I was use to because it was familiar. Through almost dying 12 times, counseling, and a spiritual path with meditation, gradually I found a path out of hell. 

As my husband was manically driving to punish me, on the way home from a vacation in Canada in the middle of the night, we almost had three head on collisions. I was so terrified I prayed, "God, please help me I really do not want to die." Within minutes, he drove onto the shoulder and passed out over the wheel of the car. 

Through that prayer for help, I ended up in a treatment center for co-dependency and alcoholism. I had no idea I was addicted to the prescriptions from the doctor. I found out that one pill and one drink is six times the effect. I was in the late stage of alcoholism and to drink was to die. I was also addicted to my husband and family for survival as I was emotionally three years old and had not grown up emotionally, even though I had seven years of college and taught school, successfully. As an emotional three year old I had graduated Valedictorian from high school and even soloed as a flutist with the Bellingham Symphony. I looked good on the outside, but was dying on the inside. 

During my treatment program, I was introduced to a daily spiritual program to replace the medications. This brought a new pair of glasses of reality. I had no idea I was also mentally ill, an alcoholic, an adult child of an alcoholic, and traumatized throughout my life from sexual and other abuse. 

With sober eyes, I cleared away the past harms with forgiveness, gratitude, compassion, and unconditional love, so I could release it for a new beginning. Today, I  live in the "Now" which is the presence of love. It is a gift and that is why it is called The Present. I became fearless and found a life I never dreamed possible. 

I became an ordained minister for spiritual counseling, past life regressionist, and a medium graduating from the Natural Psychic School of Metaphics. I learned how to apply the wisdom of Einstein who said, "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it". I am Internationally Board Certified for Regression Therapy, IBRT, and on the American Board of Hypnotherapy, ABH. 

I have several writing awards. The Edgar Cayce's Association for Research and Enlightenment organization notified me, that their prison program is distributing my books internationally to prisons. In the last week, "Who's Who in America" informed me that I will be in their current book. 

I have 10 books, eBooks on Amazon which I illustrated, included in 23 anthologies (One is 'What a Dream', "The Book of Amazing People", Mithera & Athena Publishing 2017) , written over 100 international articles, have 175 You Tubes, hosted, and produced two radio shows, write two columns a month. In addition, I write for my blog and several other blogs. 

I see myself as God employed and listen for my guidance through morning mediation. The ability comes to accomplish a task at the time I need it. Through being sober for 35 years and off all medications for 19 years, I have found sanity. It is necessary to move into the truth of who you are, people need to be true to themselves. Trust your feelings, and follow your feelings.

I have healed nine addictions, mental illness, domestic violence, PTSD, depression, and more. In the course of this, I found the answers to how life works and how to align with the loving universe that created us in love. There is a way to grow beyond past thinking that perpetuates conditions and difficulties in life. A diagnosis does not need to be a lifetime sentence. Life is not a mystery anymore. Today, in all things I look for the good.

Healing Life from an Altered State

 

Healing Life from an Altered State

 

By Marilyn L. Redmond

 

Many people are fearful of meditation, hypnosis, or an altered state of consciousness. Surprisingly, people are in this state twice a day. When I first wake up and just before I fall asleep, the union with my source is without the influence of my physical body and ego. At this time, awareness to soul consciousness occurs in sleeping, in a deep relaxation, or in being still. "Be still and know that I am God."

 

This is where the real changes to thinking, behavior, and your soul history can be reframed into a loving, healthy resolution. Knowing that I am able to improve my life in a way that is effective and brings better outcomes is a huge gift. I use this option as a past life regressionist/hypnotherapist for helping others resolve medical, relationship, and self worth issues. It can bring new loving solutions and resolutions for past thinking, behavior, and childhood harms. It allows the grace of God to increase and grow.

 Healing can only occur in an altered state that connects to your spirit. This straightforward way is always available to free the barriers that are blocking off the sunlight of the spirit from your life. Releasing the past harms or negative emotions then replacing them with love and grace, allows the spark of divinity in the heart to manifest and expand. It feels good. Many call that good feeling God. God is energy in expansion.

 One day, while in meditation reading a Biblical passage in Psalms, I got the message you were born happy, confident, and assertive. You are a good person. I made you that way. I decided to give up the old messages from my family that saw me through different eyes. In meditation, I found an elevated level of myself and that I was already perfect in the eyes of the universe as I was created in the image of God.

 This changed my life from being a victim, helpless, and hopeless. My new basis changed from the old fearful me. This experience transformed my soul into becoming a confident, assertive, and a self-loving person in a happy life. I felt a transformation. A part of my soul healed.

 Techniques like Therapeutic Hypnosis, which is guided meditation, can provide a safe experience to move beyond the past into living in the "Now". Living in the moment is a gift. That is why it is called The Present. It opens the door to loving basis inspiring life. The connection of an open heart when in an altered or meditative state brings inner guidance and direction from a higher power. This spiritual conscious contact is the most important part of my life. It provides truth, help, and a way into a world of reality. Einstein said, "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it". 

 Mediation answered my concerns about having Bipolar Disorder. While in that still place, I heard the question, “Do you want to walk out of your Bipolar Disorder as your mother could not walk out of her prison of fear called Paranoid-Schizophrenia?” I responded after a moment of thought about what this meant. The silent voice inside surprised me as I was not expecting to hear anything. “Yes,” I replied.

With my agreement to move out of my past thinking and behaviors, I began responding differently to situations. Gradually, when I was off all medications and was practicing new responses to life's challenges, I found myself not overreacting in my behavior. With clear thinking, I was able to see when I went back to old behavior and reactions.

 Several years later with my new life style of healthy actions and thoughts, my psychiatrist declared me sane. However, I can have minor relapses, but I am aware quickly today. I recognize the pattern and know that acting rationally instead of reacting will restore my sanity. New in this approach, I found myself in my old behavior of survival. Taking the steps to be responsible in the situation and change my response to a healthy decision and action, I immediately felt the sanity return. The tools in my book, "Paradigm Busters, Reveal the Real You", at Amazon have the ideas I apply and live for a new beginning.

Several years later, while traveling to many sites in Europe where Mother Mary appeared, I   visited the Baths at Lourdes in France. After that cleansing experience, I went into a big episode of PTSD. All the loving energy for healing at the baths released the submerged feelings of many traumatic occurrences. I was overwhelmed in anxiety. Through this difficult time, I had to give up my first radio show that I produced and hosted. It was important for those energies of the past to flow out leaving space for a loving foundation to fill the new void. In healing the root cause of the PTSD, I did not have more symptoms.

 Later in meditation, Archangel Michael told me to go for additional therapy to remove more rage and anger within me from my childhood and adult abuse. It was time to allow more stuffed feelings to surface and leave. With releasing more unfathomable hidden rage, more understanding appeared. I found that anger covers fear.  

 Progress in clearing out my past feelings from harms brought new knowledge. This time my inner message said, I was to release each fear and replace it with love and grace. Subsequently, I panicked when my friend wanted me to ride a huge ferris wheel on the waterfront of Seattle, Washington to celebrate his birthday. In sixth grade, I had a panic attack on the octopus ride a local fair thinking I would fall out and die from the fall. This haunted me while growing up. I vowed never to ride that kind of ride again.  

 In meditation, I came to the understanding that I could replace my fear with faith. I visualized my Heavenly Father holding me in his arms throughout the time of my ride. I would be safe in his embrace. Finally, I did accompany my friend with a new sense of safety. For me meditation is practical, sagacious, and produces sanity.

 Because of the bad traffic in Seattle that day, we could not get to the ferris wheel until late in the day. My reward for facing my last fear was witnessing a beautiful orange sunset at the top of the wheel. An orange sky appeared representing fearlessness, maturity, or Christ Consciousness. My reward is the picture on the cover of my book, "Paradigm Busters, Reveal the Real You" at Amazon. 

 Through appropriate subconscious healing, addressing the root of the distress or illness, negative energy is replaced with an awareness of a loving resolution. There is a healthier way than prescriptions to heal any sickness or emotional circumstances. The Father of Holistic Health, Edgar Cacye said, "There are in truth no incurable conditions".

 However, without a therapist who has achieved this recovery, the results are nil because there is no compassionate energy. Therapeutic Hypnosis is a kinder and more effective approach than typical therapy, because achieving emotional and spiritual harmony heals the soul; there are no longer symptoms to medicate. Damaged souls can transform into wholeness, health, and happiness during a meditative or altered state.  

 When you comprehend this principle, it becomes easy to differentiate between what raises your vibrations closer to your Creator and what keeps you at a distance. People raise their energy by also using tuning forks, receiving laying-on-of-hands, and positive intentions. Other means include taking homeopathic remedies, herbs, drinking pure water, and eating non-toxic foods. Dr Gerber also adds, “The point is that we must begin to investigate alternative healing methods for what they can teach us about ourselves as evolving spiritual beings, as well as for their treatments of ailments for which orthodox medicine can do very little.”

 Surprising results from meditation occurred. Through my 35 years of spiritual growth and meditating daily, my life transformed in numerous ways. While practicing meditation, I first began to hear the silent voice inside which brought my awareness of being psychic. Practicing my new skill, I experienced deeper and longer meditations. Consequently, I found that I was a medium talking to and for ascended masters including, Jesus, Mother Mary, God, Masters, and Archangels. I hold live channelings and bring in those passed over for their loved ones. My life changed to being based in my connection in an altered state of consciousness to help others.

A SIMPLE APPROACH TO PRAYER AND MEDITATION

 

Prayers and meditation work best when consciousness is in the "NOW". Past harms, resentments, and fears are blocking the materialization of offerings from spirit. I have to let go of the barriers I have built to protect myself so I am presently emotionally available. Clearing the channel to connect consciously to my higher power is the direct route to my source and guidance.

 When I clear my relationship to my Creator as stated in the St. Francis Assisi prayer, "Lord make me a channel of  Thy peace," through releasing my past fearful ways and making amends to those I harmed, I am ready to be allied directly to the God of my understanding. 

 Abundance, health, and love are my inheritance. They manifest when I merge my energy with that of the source of my being. This aligns me in the flow of a beneficent spiritual energy. I feel bliss and prosperity. If you are following this column, you will find past articles that describe letting go of fear, guilt, shame, and other negative energies to allow emotional freedom. It is necessary to include acknowledging your part in past relationships and making them right. This further completes breaking emotional strings from the past. I describe the process in my book, "Paradigm Busters, Reveal the Real You" at Amazon.

Reading a book to learn to meditate did not work for me. Therefore, in prayer I asked God to teach me. I lay on my bed facing the cross on the wall with open arms. "Whatever you have for me God, I am here with open arms to hear." After a few days of silence, Daily, I began to hear unspoken messages, which were new to me about how to heal my relationship with my mother. The next year, I heard that I was to take action along with my new information. Each morning I listen for new understanding. For me life is about walking in faith.

After hearing Tesla's explanation about the universe, I understood. He said that to understand the universe, it is about energy, vibration, and frequency. Prayer is raising my consciousness beyond the ego and going directly to my Creator. When that higher contact is achieved, I am listening in the stillness. For me, it is like tuning into a higher frequency of a radio-tuning dial.

It took time to understand the more that I let go of past mental obstructs for protection, the more easily the answers and resolutions will appear. When I was in grade school visiting my aunt in California, I thought her baby grand piano was the most beautiful thing I ever saw. I prayed that I could have a piano like hers. At home, I played on an old upright, which was a decent, piano, but not beautiful. When I married, we could not afford an expensive one so we bought a quality spinet. In the divorce, he got the piano. This created an opening for a new piano for me.

I wanted to replace the piano I lost in the divorce. After a few years, I decided I would save for a baby grand piano like my aunt's. When I was ready to shop for my new piano, my best friend, who had perfect pitch, went with me to try out the many pianos at an outlet barn. While I was browsing, I heard her playing a black baby grand. It felt like it called out to me. I even wanted an electronic player installed like my other aunt had on her piano, which I loved to play, too.   

While refinancing my mortgage for my home two years later, I included the remaining loan amount of the piano. I had paid the cost of the piano I had in my marriage. The surprise was that the outstanding amount of the new loan did not make the latest mortgage payment any higher. It felt like God had paid for the rest of the piano, the difference of the cost of a baby grand from a spinet.

If I had tried to buy a keyboard sooner, my husband who took everything as his, would have ended up with the baby grand. The best part I realized later was that I had cleared out the past negative energies that stopped my prayer from manifesting. I deserved a baby grand piano. I cleaned the channel for the manifestation and it appeared at the right time.

If you have read my prior articles about the Universal Laws, I unconsciously had used The Law of Attraction. My vibrational offering equaled my point of attraction. Timing was the last part of the attraction to manifest. It showed up at the right time for me to enjoy and keep.

Prayer and Meditation raise me into an altered state of consciousness, where the ego cannot dominate my thinking and the solution to my problems can be rational, loving ones. Real prayer is going within and experiencing aligning and merging my energy to the consciousness of the universe. It is the direct way to connect with my guidance and direction.

My actions and thinking are now coming from a loving cause. In a higher vibration, the spiritual energy provides my needs that are the effect of the cause. Life is about cause and effect. I change the motive to get a new result. Love creates loving resolutions and answers. Most people call that beneficent energy God.

Self-searching, prayer, and meditation are very practical. Daily prayer and meditating builds a firm foundation for emotional balance. Correct understanding allows the highest-quality outcome possible. In my guidance to help others, my energy expands and it feels good. That expanded energy manifests into meeting my needs. “The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, says, “Here is my secret. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes.”

Edgar Cayce, The Father of Holistic Health, said, “Mind is the builder,” that spirit is our source and the physical is our result. From his famous quote, I learned to change my mind set to create good results, inspiration, or solutions. I tune in through meditation listening for guidance and directions, accepting the results.

I do not pray for myself; my thoughts are not from selfishness, self-centeredness, and fear but to help others. In morning mediation, I hear information for my daily activities, especially for my writing books, this column, articles, and projects needing to be completed. Opportunities to be in service are also offered. Doing the right thing is never wrong. I call myself "God employed". 

It is not always easy to follow my inner messages. Yesterday, I had to approach a new gardener to work in my yard. I never got costs from the two former fellows I interviewed for the work. They just disappeared. So once again, my shy self had to speak up. 

My neighbor mentioned that he had yard maintenance people coming the following day. The best option was to talk with them while they were working next door. I spoke up and we quickly and easily agreed to his starting the next week. I felt a huge sense of relief that it had gone so well. I can apply using God's will in my daily life.

It shows me how practical the spiritual path is. I was hurriedly trying get all my ducks in a row like at the circus-shooting booth. My hasty search to find yard maintenance was not successful; however, the gardener working right in the neighbor's yard was the right one.

Some people call this surrender to the perfect will of God. When I listen to the silent voice inside, my life goes efficiently. Thy Will Be Done shows me that I need to let life happen and not be the director. I give up my ideas for better ones that are rational and productive. Thy will be done, proves to me that it is the easier, softer way.
