“The privilege of a lifetime is to be who you are.”
- Joseph Campbell
I am the God That I Am.
I choose the God That I Am.
I surrender to the God That I Am, and I allow that highest potential, that highest presence, that highest expression of who I am, to live through me, to love through me, to act through me, to speak through me, to breathe through me.

I am the God That I Am
I am the God That I Am
I am the God That I Am

something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

So please join me in creating a world that celebrates who we truly are

Sharing a Thought

Published on Monday, August 24th, 2009

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
~ traditional hymn

There’s an old hymn you might know titled How Great Thou Art. I discovered it about a decade ago on a country gospel compilation and have loved it ever since. Through that time and until a few weeks ago as I was walking through a riverside park in suburban Detroit, I gave little thought to the words or their current relevance.

Then as I strolled among the emergent greens of an Eastern spring, something shifted and suddenly I got it.

All those church-goers through the hymn’s century-long history who assumed they were singing to someone else, to the God-on-high that’s outside of themselves, were missing the deeper truth behind the words.

All this time, they and I have been singing to ourselves!

How Great Thou Art is a declaration addressed not to some white-bearded deity, but to the singer. To me and to you: How great thou art.

For you are the God That You Are. And how great thou art!

The God That You Are is mighty. The God That You Are is strong. The God That You Are is fearless. The God That You Are knows only effortless, easy abundance.

The God That You Are is love.

We hear variations of this so often: You are love…God is love…Love is everything…Love is all that is…Love is all there is…

All these are true, even if they have been tritened in the over- and superficial use of those phrases.

But the basic truth is that the energy of love suffuses all. The energy of love fills all. And the energy of love is all there is.

And if that’s so, then you are that energy. You are love.

How can something that is love be less than? How can something that is love be not good enough? How can something that is love be not valuable?

You are all these things. And from that place, it’s time to step into an appreciation, acceptance and embrace of what you are.

For once you recognize, truly and viscerally, that there is nothing but love and that that’s what you are, you can no longer hold yourself down. You can no longer diminish and demean who and what you are.

All you can do is acknowledge how great thou art. How great thou art.

There is a God Presence within and around you that in this moment is expressing itself in human form. It has the eyes the allow you read this. It has the ears that allow you to hear this. More than anything else, it has the heart that allows you to know this.

So stop for a moment. Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath and breathe in the truth. And that truth is the underlying greatness of the love that defines who and what you are.

It’s time to reclaim. It’s time to re-energize it. It’s time to open to the truth of  this statement.

Thank You Mark David for this loving reminder.  May Peace follow you everywhere you go

The Adventures of Wholistic Healing

Published on Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Our most intimate relationship is the one we have with our own mind.  And if we do not question what we believe, how we think, the language we use when speaking to ourselves and others, we are destined to live it out.  Our health becomes affected by our own self-created stories.

Think about the good news this represents.  If our health, our sense of well being, our very reality is affected by our own self created stories, we can begin to using this knowledge to create new stories.  Stories that contain joy, stories of glorious health and well being.

The mind that questions itself looks forward to life, to the wonderful adventure life truly is.

“Seek not outside yourself.  For all your pain comes simply from a futile search for what you want, insisting where it must be found”

Course in Miracles

“Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness”

James Thurber

Here are ten statements that represent Wholistic Healing to Me

1)  Listen with Your Heart

2)  Honor Yourself and All that you are and will become

3)  Create Joy Each and Every Day

4)  Forgive Yourself Immediately

5)  Remember:  There is always a choice and you decide  how to choose

6)  Release Fear as soon as you realize you are standing in it

7)  Spend Some Time Alone

8)  Pay Attention

9)  Live the 3 R’s:  Respect for Self, Respect for Others, Take Responsiblity for Your Actions

10)  Express Gratitude Often

This is a small excerpt of one of the personal development classes I have created.  Please go to my webpage for more information www.wholisticlifeservices.com


2009 is a wonderful time to be here

This Is A Unique Solstice
by Patricia Diane Cota-Robles 

http://eraofpeace.org  

The Winter Solstice is considered one of the most powerful times of the year by many cultures around the world. In the Northern Hemisphere this celestial event usually occurs on December 21st. The timing of the solstice this year will be Sunday, December 21, at 7:04 a.m. EST, 4:04 a.m. PST, or 12:04 p.m. Universal Time.

The Winter Solstice is the longest night of the year, and it heralds the initial impulse of the annual return of the Sun, the Light, to the Earth. This year the spiritual effects of the solstice will be more powerful than ever before. This is due to the incredible influx of Light that is pouring into the planet through the heartfelt pleas of people everywhere.

Humanity is experiencing the most intensified purging of the economic system, and the various other social structures that do not operate with a consciousness of the highest good for all concerned, that we have ever endured. This is a necessary cleansing that is paving the way for the physical manifestation of the patterns of perfection for the New Earth. The difficult part of this process is that the masses of Humanity do not see the bigger picture. Millions of people see only the painful situations that are happening in their lives. As a result of this limited perception, they feel overwhelmed and hopeless. This is very hard to observe, but it is not all bad.

After our fall from Grace aeons ago, we became so numb to the discord in our lives that we just muddled through our Earthly experiences accepting mediocrity as a natural state of being. We fell into the terrible habit of using pain as our motivator. Unless we were writhing in agony, we did not feel that it would help to take action or to ask for assistance from our Father-Mother God. For millions of people on Earth, prayer and an invocation for Light from our God Parents occurs only when they are brought to their knees by their life situations. This is exactly what is happening at this time for millions of people all over the world.

The Company of Heaven is revealing to us now that more people than ever before are reaching a critical moment in their life experiences. Consequently, millions of people are asking God for Divine Intervention. Many of them are praying for the very first time. This powerful event, in unison with the millions of Lightworkers who daily invoke the Light of God, has created the greatest influx of Light the Earth has ever experienced during a Winter Solstice. This Heavenly assistance will greatly empower the patterns of perfection for the New Earth, and it will accelerate our individual hopes and dreams by leaps and bounds.

Beginning now, and continuing for the next 72 hours, focus intently on the vision of what you want to manifest in your life and the lives of your loved ones. Focus on your visions for the New Earth and the harmony and balance you wish for all Humanity. This is a rare opportunity, and we are being called to action by our God Selves—our I AM Presence—and the Company of Heaven. Be sure your visions and your intentions always reflect our Oneness and the Reverence of ALL Life.

This event will pave the way for a God Victorious New Year. 2009 is going to be a year of miraculous changes. These changes have been in the works for quite some time, and now we are going to experience them tangibly in the world of form. These changes will not happen by chance. They will occur through the unified efforts of Lightworkers all over the world and the Company of Heaven.

I know there are a lot of dire predictions regarding the global economy and the challenges Humanity is going through, but we are not the victims of circumstance. We are the cocreators of our Earthly experiences. If we do not like the way things are going in our lives, we have the ability to change our circumstances. This is what we have been preparing for aeons to accomplish—and now is the time.

As the Hopi prophecy states: “We are the ones we have been waiting for.”

2009 numerically is an 11 year. Eleven is the master number that reflects the transformation of the physical into the Divine. The archetypes for the patterns of perfection for the New Earth were securely anchored into the physical plane in August 2008. In 2009, through our creative faculties of thought and feeling, we will expand these patterns into our daily experiences.

The purging and cleansing of the obsolete behavior patterns that have caused the maladies existing in Humanity’s lives will continue. But the wonderful news is, as these old archetypes crumble away, the expansion of the patterns of perfection for the New Earth will begin to manifest in ways that will bring joy, fulfillment and great expectations into the hearts and minds of people everywhere.

There is a new sense of hope flooding through the hearts of people around the world. Humanity’s hope is magnetizing Legions of Light from the Realms of Perfection into the atmosphere of Earth in ways we have never experienced. The Divine Intent of these Messengers of God is to assist Humanity to move quickly through the cleansing process so that the bliss of the New Earth will manifest in the twinkling of an eye.

2009 is going to be whatever we cocreate together. Do not let this opportunity pass you by. 

       


Circulate

Published on Thursday, December 4th, 2008
Circulate
Keep moving your energy, financially and otherwise
The brilliant metaphysician Florence Scovel Shinn noted
“All disease is due to congestion and all healing is due to circulation”
So now would be a good time to spend your money
When you do, you affirm that you have enough and you keep the circulation movingnot just from you, but to you
If you do not have the money to spend, or would rather not,
then circulate your energy in other ways
Express you creativity, volunteer, paint, play music, journal, and do anything to move energy rather than let it stagnate
 
Repeat after me
I am an Abundant Being
Living in an Abundant Universe
That is capable, willing, and glad
to meet all of my needs
and the needs of everyone

How to be Santa Claus

Published on Thursday, December 4th, 2008
How to be Santa Claus
You are Santa Claus when you decide to be the person you have always been.  You will eagerly look for ways to be thoughtful.  You will be generous in ways you once thought impossible.  And remember, Santa is not embarrassed to laugh at his/her own jokes.  And when Santa thinks something is funny, Santa laughs till he/she is red in the face.  Tears roll.  Santa is left gasping for air.  It is a beautiful thing to watch.
 
So laugh at yourself this holiday season.  See the humor in your foolishness, and the wisdom.  This is not about you.  It’s about sharing with others.  What’s really humorous is that they are Santa Claus too.  They just don’t know it.
 
So, when some people wink and whisper in your ear
“Who are you, really?”
Tell them the truth
 
You are really Santa Claus 
 
And Santa’s philosophy is simple:  Thoughtfulness is the gift
 
Wishing Everyone a Thoughtful and Joyful Holiday Season!!! 
 

Holiday Ideas and A New President

Published on Wednesday, November 5th, 2008
“If you’re really listening, if you’re awake to the poignant beauty of the world, your heart breaks regularly. In fact, your heart is made to break; its purpose is to burst open again and again so that it can hold ever-more wonders.” -Andrew Harvey, *The Return of the Mother*
 
And What Wonders to Behold!
I am filled with joy as I behold our
new president
Barack Obama
The message I heard
so loud and clear
last evening
No longer should we live in Fear
He is asking us to assist him
in creating a world filled
with Peace, Prosperity, and More Importantly
Hope!
 
No matter how you voted
please join President Obama
in this Grand Adventure
For “Yes, We Can”
Change the Direction
of Our Nation

Money and Fear

Published on Thursday, October 9th, 2008
“In the face of the [financial] crisis, people ask what they can do to
protect themselves. ‘Buy gold?’ ‘Stockpile canned goods?’ I would like to
suggest a different kind of question: ‘What is the most beautiful thing I
can do?’”-Charles Eisenstein, “Money and the Crisis of Civilization”

 
What a truly wonderful opportunity we are being presented
with in this very moment.  Do we choose Fear or Faith?
Perhaps the time has come to redefine our relationship with money.
To dissolve Fear, turn and look directly at it
 For what you face, dissolves in the light of consciousness 
 
Try this simple exercise
Begin by finding a comfortable position
Close Your Eyes
Imagine something you fear
Notice how this makes your body feel
Now, bring your fear to you
Embrace it and pull it into your heart center
remembering to breathe deeply
Imagine that you are accepting your fear
Acknowledging it
Be willing to be honest with yourself
Open up and begin to love your fear
After all, your fear is simply showing you
an aspect of yourself awaiting healing
Healing that can only be found through love
Surround yourself with this healing love
How does your body feel now?
Would you please take a moment and share
this healing love with the world
 
Remember, there is Light and Love
in every situation
 

Finding Joy

Published on Friday, August 29th, 2008


*The Return of the Prodigal Son* by Henri J. M. Nouwen

“I am not accustomed to rejoicing in things that are small, hidden, and scarcely noticed by the people around me. I am generally ready and prepared to receive bad news, to read about wars, violence, and crimes, and to witness conflict and disarray. I always expect my visitors to talk
about their problems and pain, their setbacks and disappointments, their depressions and their anguish.

Somehow I have become accustomed to living with sadness, and so have lost the eyes to see the joy and the ears to hear the gladness that belongs to God and which is to be found in the hidden corners of the world. “I have a friend who is so deeply connected with God that he can see joy where I expect only sadness. He travels much and meets countless people. When he returns home, I always expect him to tell me about the difficult economic situation of the countries he visited, about the great
injustices he heard about, and the pain he has seen. But even though he is very aware of the great upheaval of the world, he seldom speaks of it.


When he shares his experiences, he tells about the hidden joys he has discovered. He tells about a man, a woman, or a child who brought him hope or peace. He tells about little groups of people who are faithful to each other in the midst of all the turmoil. He tells about the small wonders
of God.
At times I realize that I am disappointed because I want to hear ‘newspaper news,’ exciting and exhilarating stories that can be talked about among friends. But he never responds to my need for sensationalism. He keeps saying: ‘I saw something very small and very beautiful, something that gave me much joy.’

“This is a real discipline. It requires choosing for the light even when there is much darkness to frighten me, choosing for life even when the forces of death are so visible, and choosing for the truth even when I am
surrounded with lies. I am tempted to be so impressed by the obvious sadness of the human condition that I no longer claim the joy manifesting itself in many small but very real ways. The reward of choosing joy is joy
itself. Living among people with mental disabilities has convinced me of that. There is so much rejection, pain, and woundedness among us, but once you choose to claim the joy hidden in the midst of all suffering, life becomes celebration. Joy never denies the sadness, but transforms it to a fertile soil for more joy.”
