This is Part I of a four Part blog. See my blog entry of 05/02/07 for Part II.

Who are you really talking to all day long and why? Have you ever stopped to ask yourself this question? Have you ever stopped long enough to listen in—to be mindful?

Have you slowed down enough to realize that almost always there is an internal dialogue or monologue going on within you? And if you have slowed down enough to listen to this dialogue, you have come to realize that you are in fact talking to someone, so to speak.

You are either talking to yourself or to someone else. And, if you are talking to yourself, you are either being self-critical or appreciating yourself. Actually most of our internal dialogue is about us. And unfortunately, most of it is negative.

Or, if you are not talking to yourself, you are having a “fantasy” dialogue with someone else, whether it is your partner, your child, your dog or cat, a character in a novel you are currently reading, your mother-in-law, a parent, a friend, an “enemy,” a commentator on TV, a political figure you agree or disagree with, your neighbor next door, an old friend, someone you want to meet, a celebrity, a TV character, etc. The list is rather endless and rather amusing when you look at it.

Or, if you are not having a dialogue with one of these or a million other characters, perhaps you are rehashing or reliving a past experience, be it a good one or a “bad” one. Or perhaps you are imagining a future dialogue or a meeting with someone or anticipating a situation that you know will be coming up.

Just take the time a couple of times during the day to slow down and take note of what you are thinking about. I do not mean when you are in the midst of accomplishing a task, but I suggest you do this when you are idle or alone. What you discover will amaze you. The amount of banal repetition will, as well.

This is Part IV of a four part blog. Please see my blog entry of 04/23/07 for Part III.

We were never meant to “wing it” on our own. We were meant to fly in a beautiful, harmonious formation together with God/Goddess and others. And this support, strength and clarity is there for the asking and it is very, very real.

But you must first let go of your belief that it is not possible or perhaps not necessary or not cool or in vogue nowadays to develop this personal relationship with God/Goddess. I am not referring to a relationship that relies on someone else’s rigid understanding of how you should do it. But on one that relies totally on the unique way you choose to do it!

For without a strong, personal sense of connection or communion with God/Goddess you will find yourself always “looking for love in all the wrong places.” As well, you are more than likely to be pursuing goals that are not really for your Highest Good. Also, they are likely to be goals that do not best express the essence and the gifts of who you are.

But you no longer need to look or wander aimlessly. The Way is there. Just look within. It is all an “inside job.”

It is really all about coming to “Know your Self.” For when you come to “Know Thy Self, you come to know God/Goddess.

When you look within, you are looking at a mirror that is simply reflecting You back to you. And then you begin to realize that you have been talking to your Self all the time. That You and God/Goddess are One!

You begin to realize that what is possible for you is truly infinite. You realize that the potential of the whole Universe has now opened up for you. And like a child you now begin to live each day in awe of the wonder and beauty of it all and you now really trust and know that all is well.

So, creating a personal relationship with God/Goddess is what it is all about. It is the real purpose of your life, of everyone’s!

“You must be a child to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”

NB Please do think about what you have just read, just “feel” it; don’t think it and you then will “know” if it resonates with you.

This is Part III of a four part blog. Please see my blog entry of 04/18/07 for Part II.
So, if you want a real relationship with God/Goddess, you must develop one on your own by talking to God/Goddess daily—moment to moment even.

This is what I believe St. Paul meant when he said: “Be joyful always. Pray continuously. Give thanks in all circumstances.” With this attitude and in this way, you gradually develop your connection and relationship with God/Goddess. As in any good relationship, it takes time and consistency for it to really gel. But when it does, it is so, so special. And it is so unique and eternal!

Yes, you can ask others how they do it and follow some of their techniques, but ultimately, you have to figure out what works best for you and what your style is. You need to claim the uniqueness of who you are. And you need to truly feel a sense of connection, confidence and communion with who you really are and then you can claim your own distinctive relationship with God/Goddess.

And it is so, so important to understand that this is not just another relationship. This is the ultimate relationship of all your relationships. This is “the big Kahuna,” so to speak.

Your sense of Self, stability, love and strength all lie in your ability to develop this relationship. Without it you are lost and will feel alone. Without it you will try to fill up the voids that you feel within yourself with all kinds of dysfunctional behaviors and experiences. But you will get nowhere.

Without it you will try to get things done or accomplished in your life or make changes in yourself emotionally or physically, but will eventually find your self up against a wall, frustrated and confused that nothing seems to be working.

It is at this point that you finally realize that you were never meant to do it on your own. But that there is a profound wellspring of Love and support that is there waiting, patiently and lovingly, for you to ask for help, support and strength. And when you ask, It always responds. And all that is left for you to do after you have asked is to really listen and to pay attention to the response you get and then trust and act on the inspirations and insights that you receive.

This is Part II of a four part blog. Part III will be posted on 04/23/07.

So, if you want a real relationship with God/Goddess, you must develop one on your own by talking to God/Goddess daily—moment to moment even. And when I say here, “talk to God/Goddess,” I mean just that.

You actually talk to God/Goddess as you would to a real friend or a loved one. In time you learn how to communicate—that is, to be heard and to really listen. In time you really develop an ongoing, enriching conversation and interaction, albeit somewhat different than the kind you would have with another person. [In a future blog post I will say more about the kind of relationship you can develop.]

You’ll be amazed to discover what you learn about your Self and the world you live in when you develop a personal relationship with God/Goddess. By being in constant communion with God/Goddess, the most incredible gift you receive is the ability to see everyone and everything through the eyes and heart of God/Goddess.

This way of seeing is a completely different experience from your common way of perceiving things which is one that is limited by the narrow-minded filters and fears of your belief systems. Having this direct relationship opens you up to a whole new world. You get to see everything in a totally new light.

As well, by developing this personal relationship you become like God/Goddess. You become more and more fashioned in His/Her Image. You rise above your human, imperfect emotions, identifications and interpretations and instead see clearly and with the eyes of Love. You learn to accept and appreciate it all.

As well, rather than just relying on yourself to change or get things done in your life, you now begin to allow His/Her strength and Love to flow through you and that is when miracles can and do happen in your life. You learn that you are never alone and that together with God/Goddess everything is possible. You come to understand that on your own so little is really possible, but in partnership with God/Goddess all things are possible.

This is Part I of a four part blog.

Well, a personal relationship with God/Goddess is just that—very “personal.” It is very unique and special. A personal relationship with God/Goddess is no different from any other relationship you might have with someone very close and dear to you.

In the most intimate and close of relationships—say that of a parent and a child--the mother of the child has a very different relationship with her child as compared to the relationship that the father has with the same child. So, too, the child has a very different relationship with each of his/her parents. As well, siblings have very different relationships with each other.

So, your relationship with God/Goddess is very, very special and very much a function of who “you” are. No two relationships with God/Goddess are ever or can ever be the same.

Also, (and this point is very important to understand) for the relationship to be a “real” one, it must be one that you, on your own, have directly with God/Goddess. No one else is listening in, no one else is involved. It is purely and privately your relationship—it is just between you and God/Goddess period!

There are rather antiquated and dysfunctional belief systems out there that suggest that you need an intermediary in order to have a relationship with God/Goddess. That simply is not true.

A parent wants to have a direct relationship with their offspring. So, too, does the child want to have a direct relationship with his/her parents. No intermediaries are necessary or wanted. Otherwise, it is not a relationship. It is not personal. It is not intimate. It will go nowhere.

Your relationship with God is literally like that of a child with his/her parents; it is not like the relationship of a mail room clerk with the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. It is personal, genuine, intimate and very satisfying.

This is Part II of a two Part blog. Go to my blog entry of 04/09/07 for Part I.

How can you live your life not knowing who you ARE?

It is the most important question you can ask yourself. It is the most important quest you can embark on in your life. And it is precisely why you have incarnated this time.

Your purpose in coming forth in this dimension at this time is to come to truly, finally and completely “Know Thy Self.” To finally without a scintilla of a doubt know who you ARE so that you can embody and experience that “knowing” throughout the rest of your eternity.

In other words you have come forth this time to totally “get” this lesson and to then move on to greater and greater experiences and realizations of the Love of God/Goddess.

For each one of you the process of getting the answer to the question of “Who Am I?” will be different. So, there is no one way to find the answer nor is there the same answer for every one.

But as you ask the question, you begin to eliminate who you are not and then eventually you come to know who you are.

You will know that you are there, that is, that you have found the answer, when you have stopped asking the question. For there is no answer to the question of ´”Who AM I.” Actually, there is not even the question. There is just the profound experience of your Self as God/Goddess.

And when that “knowing” comes over you, you know you “know” who you are and why you are, but it no longer matters!

For now you have found your Self and all your questions have now turned into answers.

So, what was once a big “WHY” no longer matters. And the big “WHY” has now turned into a big “Y” that stands for and sees it all as one big “YES!”

So, seek ye first your Self and all will be added!
NB Please do think about what you have just read, just “feel” it; don’t think it and you then will “know” if it resonates with you.

Becoming awakened is very simple. Just learn how to "be present" with your Self and this will allow you to be awakened to who you really are. As well, it will help you to know all you need to know about your current life circumstances and about others.

But what does "being present" with your Self really mean? It means just sitting and listening to your self. Listening initially to the dissonance of fear, anger and confusion that by default keeps running in your mind; and then letting all that static fade away so that finally, in the Silence, you get to hear your real Self.

And there, in the presence of your Self, you know you "know" and then you are finally, truly, and irrevocably free from all the limiting beliefs that block you from knowing and "being" who you ARE.

It is in this place and space of communion, connection and Embrace that you will find the answer to the most important question you could ever ask of yourself: "Who AM I?" And the answer that you find will be one that will help you to realize and take ownership of the fact that you are loved, whole, and free and that you have eternal value!

For this precisely is what awakening really is--knowing who you ARE in all your magnificence and splendor! "Being present" with your Self is the key that will help you to open the doors to the mystery and majesty of who you are.

This will allow you to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, Nirvana, Valhalla, the place that is your true domicile, your real home--a place of profound love, truth, and wisdom.

So, just sit with your Self for awhile each day this week and ask that you can come to "Know Thy Self!" Ask sincerely and "be present" to listen; and believe me, all the forces of Heaven will come to your side to assist you.
Doing this is a marvelous opportunity to be present with your "most significant other"--your Self!

How can you live your life not knowing who you ARE?

In this series of blogs and podcasts, I will be focusing on the topic of Channeling. For five weeks I will post on my blog a transcription of a session I presented on this topic.

In order to make sense of all of this and to be able to best follow the flow, please start at Part I which begins with my blog entry on March 5, 2007.

So, what follows is a session of “channeling” that I did a number of years ago. Please note that the energies/beings that are being channeled refer to themselves as “we.”

What follows now is a transcription of a meditation that the group was lead in. I have chosen to include it here because I feel that just reading the words and sensing and feeling what they are pointing to can be very healing and enlightening and can help you to switch into a real sense of who you are. Please read it meditatively. This is part III of the meditation, the final part. EnJoy! Please go to my podcast of April 6, 2007 to be lead in the full meditation.

“Now we would ask you to come out of this natural spring, out of this whirlpool and find a rock or a grassy knoll to sun your self upon. Just get up and find the sunny spot and then just lie there and feel the warmth of the sun. Feel the embrace of the earth. Feel heaven and earth uniting within you.

For as creators, made in His/Her image, you bring together all of heaven and earth and within you is the potential to experience it all without separation or duality, but to just feel, to just feel the oneness of it all and your oneness with it all.

Feel yourself as the convergence of heaven, of earth, of spirit, of matter. Yes, a center. Each one of you is the center of God/Goddess. And the number of centers is infinite. Feel what that might mean. Not with your minds but with your hearts, remembering, remembering, remembering …

As you lie there now feeling your connection to All That Is, allow yourself to invite in any guides, angels, masters, mentors, ancestors, etc. that work with you known or unknown, seen or felt. Let this be very spontaneous!

Feel them taking care of you and embracing you. For they know you. They know you, for they have known you before you forgot you, and they are here to remind you of that real you. They are here to help you forget that which is not you.

Allow them to inspire, to impress you, to fill you to overflowing, as you continue your connection to All That Is, feeling the oneness, the wholeness. We leave you now to experience, to feel, to connect and we shall return briefly. Pause…

The goal this afternoon was to bring you to that place of connection so that your experience of it might be so solid, so clear, so rich and so full that you might never again forget. So that as you go forth in your life, no matter what circumstances may be there before you, you are in this place of connection and you know, without a doubt, that you always are held in the hands and the heart of God/Goddess and that all is in Divine Order and Divine Timing.

Start now to come out by gradually beginning to sense your physical body and the room that you are sitting in. And when you are ready you can begin to open your eyes, taking a few deep breaths to ground yourself and feeling more refreshed and more at peace than when we began. Again at your own pace you may open your eyes, more refreshed and more at peace than when we began.

This is part X and the conclusion of a 10 part blog and the final part of the three part meditation. Please go to my podcast of April 6, 2007 to be lead in the full meditation.

“Imagine that there is a whirlpool nearby, a natural spring. Bring yourself to this natural spring and allow yourself to just sit in this spring. You can sit in it and it doesn’t go above your head. It feels like a spa made especially for you and the water is the perfect temperature and is so refreshing, cleansing and healing for you.

You feel the whirling and the swirling of the energies of the water and it cleanses you. It washes away all the energetic debris you have accumulated. You allow yourself to just sink into this healing, into this connection. Again you are not separate from this water that you sit in nor are you separate from this natural environment. You are one with it. It is you, you are it. You see it in yourself and it reflects you back to you as you look at it.

Feel the energies, the waters massage your toes and rub the bottoms of the soles of your feet, cleansing you deeper and deeper. Feel the water now flowing up to your calves, your knees, your thighs, your hips.

Feel the cleansing energy and as this energy cleanses it brings to you the understanding we spoke of earlier of not being separate from but one with All That Is. Feel it flowing now into your torso, your abdomen (both the front and the back), your arms, your hands as it continues now to flow up to your neck.

If you wish just dunk your head into the water now and feel it caress and envelop your head and your hair. Now as you slowly take your head out of the water and shake your hair out, you feel golden rivulets of love and light all around you and within you.”

This is Part IX of a 10 part blog and part II of the three part meditation. To be continued on 04/04/07
