Gratitude

Oh Divine Spirit and Light of the World I am a child of yours who loves and adore you my blessed Father Mother God.  I have searched within until I was able to hear you and communicate to you my feelings, my hurts as well as my fears.  You have always been there night and day always knowing my heart. I knew that you could hear me because you always have brought to me the answers I need and require in my life to open my heart more through awareness, guidance, healing and love.

I have been lost and you found me and gave me hope and desire to feel whole and connected again.  You sent me an angel who called me to remember who I was and where I came from; and I was overwhelmed with compassion and gratitude.

When I look for answers you send them to me in the way I can receive them and understand them.

Oh Divine Spirit and Light of the World I am a child of yours who loves you and seeks to be a better human being and soul so that I may continue to be of service to you and those you send forth to me to assist in whatever way they require.

You have graced me with a most wonderful, loving and joyful family of friends. There are times when I sit with you with my heart open and reflect about the miracle of this gift and wonder how on earth am to give back all that I have received.

I hold the virtue of hope in my heart at all times, especially the times of difficulties, disappointments and sorrow.  I hold hope that if it is a struggle placed upon friendships or family that healing reaches the core of our souls,  so we may be blessed with growth and feel stronger and more connected, a bond to be of honest and loving appreciation of one another.

Of recent you gave me the gift of time and the funds to be able to travel and renew my soul and my body, as well as my mind.  It was a journey of great lessons and powerful moments between those I love and have missed in my daily life.  There is a bond that is so strong built on truth and honesty, laughter and joy, sorrow and healing the greatest gift of all Love.

Oh Spirit of Light and Love, my Father Mother God All that Is, I pray for the knowledge, the wisdom and will to continue to be of service with a good and kind heart to all those who enter into my world. And may I service them with truth and beauty. The Cosmic Heart and Soul of All, have shown me and taught me to live as an aspect of the Christ Light-Love. WE are those who shall inherit Heaven on Earth.

My love and deep appreciation of the miracle of life  everlasting,

Within all of us, we have this desire to be joined together with another as one. This belief has had many names and titles. It is ingrained in all of us. It goes back to the beginning when we were created in the bosom of God.

To return back to the central point of creation and be rejoined with the One.

To us, as created beings, it is to have the breath placed within us from God. That one might moment, where we begin to have knowledge and what is called a soul. Placed on this planet, to be joined with others of Like kind. Those of the race, brought here in separation from God, and always striving to return to that point in time of creation.

Personally I think that the concept of one true perfect mate has been around forever and ever, as old as humans, though the label may change over time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soulmate

Bashert, Ana Cara, red string of fate, marriage made in heaven, soul mate, twin flame, twin soul... all the same thing, only the name is different. "Soul mate" may have simply fallen out of fashion because it came to mean "many" rather than only one, and thus "twin flame" was coined. But that wasn't even good enough so then someone coined "twin soul."

The more interesting question is "why do humans throughout all time, cultures, whether arranged marriages or love matches, consistently hold a belief that there is only one perfect complement?" Especially since such a belief seems to cause such heart ache and suffering -- it is far easier to believe that with the right attitude one could fall in love with any multitude of people.

again

Twin flame concept -

When we were taken from that place of creation, we were as One and whole. Male and Female. Separated from the well of souls taken and broken asunder as two.

Many strive to understand this principle and it has some standing in thought, but upon death, we return to our point of origin. Not. As two souls, but as only one. Within us we have both male and female inside of us. If we were separated from the beginning, we would never have the place of redemption.

It is upon the moment that two are "married" and consummate that the souls are joined in the emotional, and ethearic that it becomes as One. Two fires joined.

It's is confusing in this place and time that the precept be even an issue. I am not one to judge, and in that, we shall end this conversation. I will consult in prayer that others will receive what they need to comprehend this whole thing. It has caused me great pain and suffering. I feel as a tormented soul, and as I get closer to the truth, the more difficult it becomes to receive what is needed for this understanding.

In love and light may the power of God be upon you.

Gift of Life

June 20th, 2012

Gift of Life - Friendship and Relationships with those you consider friends and family. My dad once told me that if you had enough friends to count on one hand you were lucky and blessed.
They would be the friends you knew without a doubt you could count on no matter what and it turns out that my dad was correct...

After these many years of my life, there are but a few people in my life I would call my adult family and friends, and with them, I know without a doubt I can count on them no matter what is going on, they are there to assist me, love me no matter what, and guide me and most of all love me for who I AM. Never have to have a mask on, they do not take advantage of my gifts and talents, they are wonderful and I love them.

Friendship is so special in life that I believe that it is a journey to keep your friends, not work, but, joy, strength, respect, understanding and the desire to be there for them. What we give out we receive back and for me, if you are a REAL friend, a loving and forgiving friend, than you will have those in your life that return those virtues to you.

May you all recognize those in your life that are there for you no matter what and love you even after they see you with your mask...and without your mask. Freedom to be who you truly are....So Good.

May you also be wise with those that are not your true friends and have the courage to be there if they need you and then bless them. God will always be there to love and care for us all.

Be well, Live well, Love deeply and be true to thine own self......

Names of God

Devotion and Dedication

After G-d figured out that Elijah the prophet didn’t understand what is the correct way to believe in him and to be his prophet, it's written in the Hebrew Bible-

"וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֵלָיו, לֵךְ שׁוּב לְדַרְכְּךָ מִדְבַּרָה דַמָּשֶׂק; וּבָאתָ, וּמָשַׁחְתָּ אֶת-חֲזָאֵל לְמֶלֶךְ--עַל-אֲרָם. וְאֵת יֵהוּא בֶן-נִמְשִׁי, תִּמְשַׁח לְמֶלֶךְ עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל; וְאֶת-אֱלִישָׁע בֶּן-שָׁפָט מֵאָבֵל מְחוֹלָה, תִּמְשַׁח לְנָבִיא תַּחְתֶּיךָ. וְהָיָה, הַנִּמְלָט מֵחֶרֶב חֲזָאֵל--יָמִית יֵהוּא; וְהַנִּמְלָט מֵחֶרֶב יֵהוּא, יָמִית אֱלִישָׁע"

"The LORD said to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus, and when you have arrived, you shall anoint Hazael king over Aram; And Jehu the son of Nimshi you shall anoint king over Israel; And Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place. It shall come about, the one who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu shall put to death, and the one who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha shall put to death"(1 Kings 19:15-17)

This passage for me is a masterpiece. G-d firstly speaks with Elijah about two leaders that will be kings, Hazael and Jehu. Only after that, he tells Elijah that he won't continue to be a prophet, without telling him that he is too zealous- he tells him- Elisha is going to be in your place.
When Elijah met Elisha he threw his mantle over him. If you'll learn the Biblical Hebrew you will find out that the mantle is a sign of power that the leader or the prophet had, and if he lost it, he isn't the leader anymore. Let us enjoy the beautiful verses-

"וַיֵּלֶךְ מִשָּׁם וַיִּמְצָא אֶת-אֱלִישָׁע בֶּן-שָׁפָט, וְהוּא חֹרֵשׁ, שְׁנֵים-עָשָׂר צְמָדִים לְפָנָיו, וְהוּא בִּשְׁנֵים הֶעָשָׂר; וַיַּעֲבֹר אֵלִיָּהוּ אֵלָיו, וַיַּשְׁלֵךְ אַדַּרְתּוֹ אֵלָיו. וַיַּעֲזֹב אֶת-הַבָּקָר, וַיָּרָץ אַחֲרֵי אֵלִיָּהוּ, וַיֹּאמֶר אֶשְּׁקָה-נָּא לְאָבִי וּלְאִמִּי, וְאֵלְכָה אַחֲרֶיךָ; וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ לֵךְ שׁוּב, כִּי מֶה-עָשִׂיתִי לָךְ. וַיָּשָׁב מֵאַחֲרָיו וַיִּקַּח אֶת-צֶמֶד הַבָּקָר וַיִּזְבָּחֵהוּ, וּבִכְלִי הַבָּקָר בִּשְּׁלָם הַבָּשָׂר, וַיִּתֵּן לָעָם, וַיֹּאכֵלוּ; וַיָּקָם, וַיֵּלֶךְ אַחֲרֵי אֵלִיָּהוּ--וַיְשָׁרְתֵהוּ."

"So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, while he was plowing with twelve pairs of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth. And Elijah passed over to him and threw his mantle on him. He left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, “Please let me kiss my father and my mother, then I will follow you.” And he said to him, “Go back again, for what have I done to you?” So he returned from following him, and took the pair of oxen and sacrificed them and boiled their flesh with the implements of the oxen, and gave it to the people and they ate. Then he arose and followed Elijah and ministered to him."(1 Kings 19:19-21)

According to Elijah's behavior, we can figure out his difficulties. It's wasn't easy to be fired by G-d. He threw the mantle at Elisha, maybe because he is desperate, but when Elisa approached him, he said to him – go back. Even at the beginning of 2 Kings 2, which is one of the greatest chapters in the Bible, we can see this attitude to Elisha, as written:

"וַיְהִי, בְּהַעֲלוֹת יְהוָה אֶת-אֵלִיָּהוּ, בַּסְעָרָה, הַשָּׁמָיִם; וַיֵּלֶךְ אֵלִיָּהוּ וֶאֱלִישָׁע, מִן-הַגִּלְגָּל. וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלִיָּהוּ אֶל-אֱלִישָׁע שֵׁב-נָא פֹה, כִּי יְהוָה שְׁלָחַנִי עַד-בֵּית-אֵל, וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלִישָׁע, חַי-יְהוָה וְחֵי-נַפְשְׁךָ אִם-אֶעֶזְבֶךָּ; וַיֵּרְדוּ, בֵּית-אֵל. ... וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ אֵלִיָּהוּ אֱלִישָׁע שֵׁב-נָא פֹה, כִּי יְהוָה שְׁלָחַנִי יְרִיחוֹ, וַיֹּאמֶר, חַי-יְהוָה וְחֵי-נַפְשְׁךָ אִם-אֶעֶזְבֶךָּ; וַיָּבֹאוּ, יְרִיחוֹ.... וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ אֵלִיָּהוּ שֵׁב-נָא פֹה, כִּי יְהוָה שְׁלָחַנִי הַיַּרְדֵּנָה, וַיֹּאמֶר, חַי-יְהוָה וְחֵי-נַפְשְׁךָ אִם-אֶעֶזְבֶךָּ; וַיֵּלְכוּ, שְׁנֵיהֶם"

" And it came about when the LORD was about to take up Elijah by a whirlwind to heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here please, for the LORD has sent me as far as Bethel.” But Elisha said, “As the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you… Elijah said to him, “Elisha, please stay here, for the LORD has sent me to Jericho. ” But he said, “As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you. ” So they came to Jericho… Then Elijah said to him, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan. ” And he said, “As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on."(2 Kings 2, 1-2,4,6)

In Gilgal , Beth-El and Jericho, Elijah wants to say goodbye, but Elisha wants to stay with his master until the last second! The persistence of Elisha brought Elijah to understand that as he was dedicated to G-d, Elisha is devoted to him as written "the two of them went on". I do hope that from these two characters we will learn what is devotion and how we shouldn't be zealous towards people or to an idea- only for our own self gain.

Pray that others will share this message with someone.

thank you..

Joyful

Seems that I feel Joyful today. Usually we just muddle through the days, one step at a time. Thinking of all the things that need to be done, or where we are going or who we have to meet. Just take a moment in time, those precious moments that make us who we are.

Take a moment to think about all you have, and be joyful. Reach for the stars. Know yourself. Be happy.
