Overwhelmed?
"Life does not happen to us, it happens from us."
-- Mike Wickett
Are you easily overwhelmed? If so, answer this question in
your journal:
While growing up, what did you experience too much of?
Experiencing too much of something leads to feelings of
overwhelm. When we’re young, overwhelm can lead us to
believe that we are not capable or that we are not good
enough. These are power issues.
Awareness of when we are feeling overwhelmed can help us go
inside, claim our power and change our experience of any
situation.
"When we know that the cause of something is in ourselves,
and that we (ourselves) are one of the few things in the
universe that we have the right and ability to change, we
begin to get a sense of the choices we really do have, an
inkling of the power we have, a feeling of being in
charge... of our lives, of our future, of our dreams."
-- John-Roger and Peter McWilliams
"Be thine own palace, or the world’s thy jail."
-- John Donne
jalen says How did you know I needed this today? What
possible joy do people get from totally ruining another's
life? What peace is found in hate? I totally agree; Love
thyself, to thine own self be true, I understand that, but
what happens when "the slings and arrows of rageous
outfortune" sting? Something has to save the human at that
point that is far beyond the human's normal range of
happenings...and it is Divine Love. Life is not perfect, or
ideal; we need a big LOVE overdose from above to see us
through those inevitable potholes on life's highway. ps
love the John Donne quote...mucho gratis!
Thanks Nina - open mind open hand open heart; fill the
human vessel with love divine
jalen saysChange the negative magnetic thoughts, feelings,
reactions, ect., to positive magnetic thoughts, etc., by
thinking positive thoughts..When and if a negative thought
or feeling should or would pop into our mind and/or soul,
say, NO WAY NEGATIVE THOUGHTS ALLOWED..i am ONLY letting
POSITIVE THOUGHTS through the garden gate THE PARADISE of
my soul, I am, after all, the gatekeeper and I have the
keys. I choose what gets in to my mind and soul and what
does not. In this way we control the input. Remember GIGO?
Garbage In, Garbage Out...we have the POWER to CHANGE what
the Universe dishes out...in that way we have sovreignty
and divinity as human beings, WE ARE NO LONGER SLAVES TO
NEGATIVE INFLUENCES. WE ARE OVERCOMERS! CELEBRATE THIS,
YEAH!!!

Dear Master Lama Shenpen Rinpoche: Death and Fear seem to
be linked...but they are not. Death is a transition to
spirit, and is all Love. At least this is my belief. I had
a NDE. There was divine intervention. What does this mean?
Master Lama Shenpen Rinpoche I will go to the Youtube to
understand this "taming of death". Thank-you!Tom Murasso

In Canada we have the need to plant trees along highways
because the wind blows snow onto the highway which causes
accidents. The tree planting would also help green the
earth (oxygen...hey that may be why we are sick...not
enough oxygen...what we aren't told...melamine..may be a
fungus caused from lack of oxygen which cleans the blood,
etc). Trees should be worshipped all over again...or at
least highly admired! Ja-Len Jones at 9:15am March 20
no i am saying that maybe the trees and plants are getting
fungus look at the California/Florida Orange
fungus...caused by a poor environment. Were we told as a
people about the wheat? Which may have a fungus because the
environment is lack of oxygen balance because of pollution,
pesticides, tree cutting, etc. All this has cause and
effect (hard to expound here in this space...)lol! Ja-Len

plant more trees we live, no trees; we die.

Rae! Thank you for inviting me to your birthday party! Your
house is a thousand miles from mine and I travel only for
the best of reasons. A party for Rae is the best and I am
eager to be with you.
I began my journey in the heart of the hummingbird you and
I met long ago. He was friendly as ever, yet when I told
him that little Rae was growing up and that I was going to
her birthday party with a present, he was puzzled.
We flew for a long while in silence and at last he said, "I
understand very little of what you say, but least of all do
I understand that you are going to the party."
"Of course I am going to the party," I said. "What is so
hard to understand about that?"
He was quiet, and when we arrived at the owl's home, he
said, "Can miles truly separate us from friends? If you
want to be with Rae, aren't you already there?"
........................................
"Little Rae is growing up and I'm going to her birthday
party with a present," I said to the owl. It felt strange
to say going like that, after talking to Hummingbird, but I
said it that way so Owl would understand.
He, too, flew in silence for a long time. It was a friendly
silence, but as he delivered me safely to the home of the
eagle, he said, "I understand very little of what you say,
but least of all do I understand that you call your friend
little."
"Of course she is little," I said, "because she is not
grown up. What is so hard to understand about that?"
Owl looked at me with his deep amber eyes, smiled and said,
"Think about that."
........................................
"Little Rae is growing up and I am going to her birthday
party with a present," I said to Eagle. It felt strange now
to say going and little after talking with Hummingbird and
Owl, but I said it that way so Eagle would understand. We
flew together over the mountains, and soared the mountain
winds.
At last she said, "I understand very little of what you
say, but least of all do I understand this word birthday."
"Of course birthday," I said. "We are going to celebrate
the hour that Rae began, and before which she was not. What
is so hard to understand about that?"
Eagle curved her wings into steep dive-flaps and stepped to
a smooth landing on the desert sand. "A time before Rae's
life began? Don't you think rather that it is Rae's life
that began before time ever was?"
........................................
"Little Rae is growing up and I am going to her birthday
party with a present," I said to Hawk. It felt strange to
say going and little and birthday after talking with
Hummingbird and Owl and Eagle, but I said it that way so
Hawk would understand.
The desert poured by far below us and at last she said,
"You know, I understand very little of what you say, but
least of all do I understand growing up."
"Of course growing up," I said. "Rae is closer to being an
adult, one more year away from being a child. What is so
hard to understand about that?"
Hawk landed at last upon a lonely beach. "One more year
from being a child? That does not sound like growing!" And
she lifted into the air and was gone.
........................................
Seagull, I knew, was very wise. As I flew with him I
thought very carefully and chose words so that when I spoke
he would know I had been learning.
"Seagull," I said at last, "why do you fly me to see Rae
when you know in truth I am already with her?"
Seagull turned down over the sea, over the hills, over the
streets, and landed gently upon your rooftop.
"Because the important thing," he said, "is for you to know
the truth. Until you know it, until you truly understand
it, you can show it only in smaller ways, and with outside
help, from machines and people and birds. But remember," he
said, "that not being known doesn't stop the truth from
being true." And he was gone.
........................................
Now it's time to open your present. Gifts of tin and glass
wear out in a day and are gone. But I have a better gift
for you. It is a ring for you to wear. It sparkles with a
special light and cannot be taken away by anyone, it cannot
be destroyed. You are the only one in all the world who can
see the ring that I give you today, as I was the only one
who could see it when it was mine.
Your ring gives you new power. Wearing it, you can lift
yourself into the wings of all the birds that fly.
You can see through their golden eyes, you can touch the
wind that sweeps through their velvet feathers, you can
know the joy of going way up high above the world and all
its cares. You can stay as long as you want in the sky,
past the night, through sunrise, and when you feel like
coming down again, your questions will have answers and
your worries will have gone.
As anything that cannot be touched with the hand or seen
with the eyes, your gift grows more powerful as you use it.
At first you might use it only when you are outdoors,
watching the birds with whom you fly.
But later on, if you use it well, it will work with birds
you cannot see, and last of all you will find that you'll
need neither ring nor bird to fly alone above the quiet of
the clouds.
And when that day comes, you must give your gift to someone
you know who will use it well, who can learn that the only
things that matter are those made of truth and joy, and not
of tin and glass.
Rae, this is the last day-a-year, special-time celebration
that I shall be with you, learning what I have learned from
our friends the birds.
I cannot go to be with you because I am already there.
You are not little because you are already grown, playing
among your lifetimes as do we all, for the fun of living.
You have no birthday because you have always lived, you
were never born, and never will you die. You are not the
child of the people you call mother and father, but their
fellow- adventurer on a bright journey to understand the
things that are.
Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness, and
so it is with this ring httpL//www.vanpraagh.com/.
The most me I can be? It might be too much! Wheni is too
much me too much? Then I can send some of me to you and
spread the love..our vessels may be not be able to contain
the Love. Then we move on the spirit which is pure
Love...What does my spirit body look like? The Universe?
Thats a huge...well..hard to believe but true; we are the
Universe..that's cosmic..thanks Hemal! Love the Tulips..I'm
going to cry..I'm overwhelmed...Love is like that
communication is tricky...it is always in the ear of the
beholder..interpretation is subjective..must be careful to
explain...we should be strong enough to say "hey, that
comment hurt me in this way" then we say "sorry", but I do
want to communicate..sometimes those unconsious mistakes
are necessary however. Being plastic is never necessary..as
long as said in truth...and love...?
dialectic argument: if we look at emotions as a spectrum,
or a rainbow, realizing that, we go or grow through
emotions, they are necessary to become wise and achieve a
richer wholeness found in the collection of all spectral
emotional colours or white light. White light represents
spiritual attainment; higher spirit-vibe energy;
completeness.
We cannot dispense so easily with emotion; it is what makes
us human, sometimes emotions seem to not help matters.
But would you rather be a robot without emotions or
plastic; denying a key to the road to fullness in mind,
body and spirit?The divine must have given us emotions for
something goodWhy Do We Have Emotions?

from NINA...RE EMOTIONS...HMMMM?

Emotions are a major part of the Earth Game. We wanted to
experience duality, to see what it was like to be separate,
limited, and have physical bodies. We wanted to experience
all the juicy, human possibilities; to feel emotions, taste
food, sing a song, ride a horse, pet a cat, and make love.
The problem is that we identify ourselves as being that
emotion. We say, “I am sad” or “I am frustrated”. NOT TRUE!
You are an Infinite Being who is feeling an emotion. There
is a belief that if you have an emotion you become that
emotion. If you feel shame it means that there really is
something wrong with you at a core level. It’s like if we
feel it then it makes it real, and it will never go away.
Actually, the opposite is true, but we aren’t taught that.
We’re at the end of the Earth Game of duality now. It is
time to release our judgments of what is good or bad and
embrace the whole. It isn’t about only having the positive
emotions and positive thoughts in order to create a
positive reality. It’s not set up that way. In order to
fully experience joy, love and excitement, you must be
willing to equally fully experience sadness, anger and
hopelessness. That’s how the Game was created.
The transition we are going through now is to be willing to
feel all the emotions fully while at the same time
maintaining your awareness of self as the Infinite Being.
We’re remembering our multi-dimensionality.
In her book Initiation, Elisabeth Haich wrote about her
experiences as a Priestess in Ancient Egypt and her
initiation process. They deliberately brought up strong
emotions (positive and negative). Ptahhotep is the Priest
who taught her. He explained emotions to her.
"My dear child," he begins, "initiation, as I have already
explained to you, means to become conscious on the highest
level, the divine plane. To be able to do this requires
long physical training and spiritual preparation. One first
must strengthen the nerves to enable them to bear these
high vibrations without harm, without death.
To become conscious on a given plane means to conduct the
vibrations characteristic of this plane into the nerves and
through the nerves into the body. From the time a body is
born, that is, from the time a 'self' dwells in it, the
body develops a power of resistance corresponding to the
average degree of consciousness of the spirit dwelling in
it.
The degree of consciousness of a living creature fluctuates
up and down, depending on its emotional condition, within
the limits of a octave of vibrations. These fluctuations,
however, must not exceed the limits of elasticity of the
nerves; for if they do, injuries and sicknesses of a more
or less serious nature occur, even death. The vibration
belonging to a creative vital energy is absolutely lethal
for creatures whose consciousness has not yet reached this
level.
The great initiation means consciously experiencing the
vital energy and creative vibrations of eternal being,
experiencing these vibrations on every plane of development
and in their original frequency, without transformation,
and simultaneously conducting these vibrations into the
nerves and the body."
They began by intentionally producing emotional states by
using dream pictures.
Once that was mastered they had to experience different
emotional states on command, without dream pictures, going
from the lowest to the highest.
Then they practiced fast changeovers from one emotional
state to another.
The next step was to experience opposite emotional states,
one after the other, with no time lost for transition,
shifting from deep sadness to the highest hilarity, or from
fear to self-assured courage.
"People believe that there always has to be a reason for
their being joyous or happy. Through the exercises with
dream pictures we first imagine we have a reason for being
in one mood or another. Thus we learn to control the
reasons themselves! As we do not actually have a reason,
however, we have to imagine one.
Then comes the next step of experiencing an emotional state
by itself, without a reason. After long practice, we
discover we have always imagined we had a reason form being
'sad' or 'joyous', 'depressed' or 'exuberant' etc. Through
these exercises we thus become convinced that events and
occurrences in our lives must not have any effect on us. We
discover that every state of consciousness arises - and can
only arise - within ourselves. The same event can provoke
one person to laughter and another to tears, while a third
remains completely indifferent; all because each is merely
projecting outwardly his own inward attitude, and it is
only the inner attitude which provokes our response, not
the external events themselves."
The end result of all this emotional training is that we
are able to experience all levels of emotion and at the
same time hold an expanded view, knowing that our True Self
is untouched (being multi-dimensional). We have gained
unshakable emotional composure, knowing that "...whatever
happens on earth is only a transitory dream projected in
time and space by ourselves. We only need to take it
seriously in so far as it adds to our experience."
That's emotional freedom!
