If We Don’t Like What We See, Change It.

We are creating the world just as it is creating us

We are not innocent bystanders in this unfolding human drama that we collectively call life.  The world outside is a mirror of our inner  states. There is one world outside and one world inside.  Our every thought, word, and deed holds creative power.  What you put out influences others.  That makes you responsible for the collective joy and the collective pain, the collective fear or the collective faith, the collective love or the collective hate, the collective health or the collective disease of the planet, and the collective wealth or collective poverty on the planet.  Your contribution is powerful.  Your apathy or ignorance is equally powerful.  That’s the good news and bad news at the same time!  We have a choice though.  You can see two people looking at the same circumstances but seeing, interpreting, and reacting to them in totally different ways.  Although we all have the potential to connect to the universal mind, we each see, understand, and experience it differently.   This phase of our eternal journey is one where we have free will.  We are creating it just as it is creating us.

During Tests Some Get More Faithful, Others Lose Their Faith

Some lose their faith during difficult times because they can’t understand why things happen the way they happen.  Others become more faithful and the tests become a source of growth and transformation.   We are creating what we are experiencing and experiencing what we are creating. Some feel that ignorance is bliss and refuse to see reality.  It appears that seeing what the real problems are is an even greater task than changing them.  For, you’ve got to see the need for change before you can change something.  That’s how we get sayings like, “If it aint broke, don’t fix it.”  But before things break, there is a process of deterioration in which at some point it’s impossible to restore.  We can’t relinquish our power to see, decide, and create our own reality and at the same time blame the world for our circumstances.  So, if you don’t like what you see, CHANGE IT.  You can if you think you can and you know it!

Want Joy? Share Your True Gifts

Posted on by

In my book, ‘Miner Miracles’ I use the analogy of a miner mining for rare jewels to explain the search that each of us must undertake to discover our true gifts and talents.  We are all miners and a mine full of gems is concealed within each and every one of us. The search to find our true selves and our unique path of service is the adventure of a lifetime and is ultimately what gives our lives purpose.

It’s Sharing Our Gems That Makes Life Complete

Finding our jewels is only half of the journey though, sharing them makes life complete. When we share our gifts, we find the meaning and joy that makes our hearts content.  Love is the key to the heart of the universe where all the treasures reside.  Loving our talents and sharing them with others and making others happy is the purpose of life.

If You’re Lost, Ask for Directions

“Everyone has probably experienced the anxiety and frustration of getting lost and not knowing where to turn, and yet still refusing to ask for directions.  Well the same rules apply for this life’s journey. If you don’t know where to dig, ask somebody, but not just anybody.  Far too often we seek advice from  those who are lost themselves. [ Excerpt from Miner Miracles]

So What’s Your Gift?  And, Are You Sharing It?

We are all here for a reason.  We all matter.  It is when we don’t know why we are here or when we feel that we don’t matter that our joy wanes.  You have the power to get your joy back.  Do something unselfishly for someone else right now.  Go ahead, share your gifts with the world and create your own joy.

Healing with Clay

I just finished listening to a Teleseminar on the healing powers of Clay with Perry A, author of ‘Living Clay: Natures Own Miracle Cure’. My friend Brenda introduced me to the healing powers of clay about a year ago. She had numerous stories to tell of miraculous healing with her family members.  She swears by it.  I tried it myself a few months ago but with no consistency. However, my daughter had an episode where her ankle was so painful that she could not walk.  She soaked in the clay and the next morning the pain was gone.  As a skeptic, she says it could have been the Valium that she had taken to get some sleep.  But, pain killers usually only mask pain and when the medication wears off the pain returns.  The medication wore off and the pain was gone too.  Hmmm, you decide.

Free Teleseminars Bimonthly

Anyway, the Teleseminar was fantastic.  I was sold, not because she was selling but because she was humbly educating.   She didn’t even mention her books or products.

Helps with Shingles and Back Pain, Skin Infections, Parasites, Toxins, and Inflammation

Clay can be used as a poultice or taken internally to help heal acne, parasites, pain, inflammation, and more.  She mentioned how it would clear the pain from shingles as well as remove toenail fungus.  It also helps to detox the body of toxins, the liver, kidneys, mercury from fillings, and more.  It  can even help with lower back pain as it helps remove inflammation.  I decided to add this simple natural remedy to my health regimen.  She has recorded her webinars for people to learn and enjoy any time.  You’ll want to check them out.  There are articles, instructions on how to use, audio recordings, and general information.  She holds live webinars every other Thursday and you can ask questions then or email in advance.

Wishing you better health in 2011

The World Is Our Mirror

What You See Is What You Get.

Although the world is our mirror, we decide what elements in the mirror to focus on.  There is so much out there that we can’t control and so much that we can.  We’ve got to decide which is which.  We can see light or can see darkness.  We can see hope or we can see despair.   We can see unity or we can see separateness.  If you see beauty you get beauty.  If you see love, you get love.  If you see hated you get hatred.  If you see lack, you get lack.  If you see abundance, peace, and opportunity, that’s what you will pursue.  What you see is what you get.   What do you see in the mirror?  Is the person happy or sad, kind or angry, full or fear or full of faith?

We Are Co-Creators of This Drama Called Life

Our free will and ability to make choices makes us a co-creator in this drama we call life.  We connect with, focus on, and are influenced by what we chose to see, believe, think, feel, and do.  And the clues for our search within are reflected back to us from every person, challenge, triumph, or situation we encounter.  Our oneness makes it possible to learn from others, but our uniqueness makes it necessary to do our own searching.

The Tree Most Pruned (continued)

Back to Part 1

Adapting Without Complaint And Still Picture Perfect

That mighty tree once filled with fruit now stands there with only her leaves to cover her but is still picture perfect with or without fruit.  If only we could learn to be content with the natural order and know that we are still perfect with or without our stuff.  The tree adapts naturally to its changing conditions. The trees once verdant leaves change from green to brilliant autumn colors as she shares her beauty with all who will just take the time to appreciate it.  However, even this condition is short lived, because before long the strong winds come and strip her of even her leaves.   But, the tree just stands there proud and naked and interestingly still picture perfect.  Stripped of everything, the tree has yet another challenge to face.  For now the tree must be trimmed or pruned to prepare for the next season of her life and again she accepts her pruning gracefully without complaint.  Finally nature brings  a blast of cold air and a season of ice and snow, but the tree stands tall covered with snow, not fighting change but instead adapting naturally to whatever happens.

The Universe Will Provide

Eventually the snow melts, new buds begin to appear, and in due time the tree is covered with fruit again.  But, because of the pruning, this time the tree bears even more fruit then the past year. The tree is under the protection of mother nature, and unlike human beings, does not have free will or a conscious mind.  It can’t hoard it’s fruit, complain about being stripped down to nothing, fear the changing seasons, refuse to face a winter naked or cold, or doubt the eventual advent of a new spring.  The universe provides all that it needs and even without human intelligence, it knows.   And in time, the tree buds and blooms again.

Each Season Prepares Us for the Next

And, so it is with us humans.  Those most tested, those facing the most difficulties with grace, and those who endure patiently their challenges, seem to bear the best fruit.  They are more aware, appreciative, sensitive, forgiving, loving, and caring.  They grow stronger with each test they face with grace and gratitude.  So whether you are in your spring, summer, autumn, or winter of your life, realize that each season prepares you for a better season.  And remember, “The tree most pruned bears the best fruit.”
