HAPPY TUESDAY!!!

I Invite Rainbows and Butterflies Out To Play.
~Jonathan-Lockwood Huie

GOOD MORNING FAMILY!

Every living thing is a part of, and intimately connected with, the field of global consciousness. Allow yourself to own this connection to all humanity and all living beings. It is this understanding and this awareness which will support and assist you in the realization that you can, and truly do, add to the well-being or the detriment of the whole. Remember to ask yourself, is this word, action, thought, or emotion life-diminishing or life enhancing.

Each time you shift an emotional response from anger or judgment to love, joy or gratitude, you are doing global service work on a personal level. Each time you allow yourself to connect to the quantum field, the cosmic consciousness; you are anchoring a level of vibration in the unconscious field of humanity. You are truly activating the evolution of consciousness for the whole.

Heavenletter #4618 God Is , July 17, 2013

God said:

What an Executive I am! Can you imagine what I undertake and undertake without encumbrance? How it works, if you can call it work, is I have a thought, and My thought travels around the Universe and beyond. It lands. My thought is enough. My energy is enough. And, through you and you and you, My Will be done. Effortless is My way. Effortless is yours once you get the hang of it.

Limitless is the number of workers, employees I have, you might say, and, yet, there is no bookkeeping. Really, no accounting staff, no records that have to be kept. No payroll. No conditions. No hierarchy. Everyone is a volunteer. Conscious volunteer or not, everyone is serving Me on Earth as best he or she knows. All succeed. Some exceed. Some exceed very well and do not know it. You might as well know it. You are, hands down, My messengers on Earth.

In one sense, it can be said that I thank you, and yet My energy is so great that My love surpasses any and all words of thanks. Can you really imagine that I take time out to write Thank-you notes!!! HA HA. My every thought envelops you. My thoughts, My vision, My AM-Ness is My embrace. What can be greater than My embrace? What can be greater that your Being held in My heart? When I am All, and you are My All, where can more or less be held?

We are Oneness of Heart, not always Oneness of Mind, yet it is Our Oneness of Heart that rallies the world. We are rallying Earth to Heaven right now as We speak. Is there more I can ask of you? Is there more you can ask of Me?

Next to Me, next to Our Soaring Love, what matters polish on your fingernails or paint on your house? Enjoy them. What matters weight on your back? Free yourself from it. Lift weight off you right now. What matter details? What matter details at all?

And, yet, Earth matters matter. They do indeed, and, yet, Love matters more. Heaven matters more. You matter more, you, the human and the Divine, matter more. Looking up high matters more. Getting a sighting on Us matters all the way to Infinity.

What sense am I making to you? Bills you have to pay have overtaken your thoughts. Bills are your masters. They push and pull your heart. They set panic ablaze.

Come back to the green fields where you lie down and where grass grows and flowers bloom and the sun grows bright.

Don’t laugh at Me when I say: “Don’t incur bills unless you can pay them.” Yet fathers do say such. “Don’t bite off more than you can chew.” And, yet, I add vociferously “Venture forth. Seek your fortune.”

What fortune do I speak of? Ah, a different kind of fortune, but what is it, this fortune I speak of?

It is the fortune of love that you cast to the world. Of this, be a spendthrift. Close your eyes, and spend. Spend for all you are worth. Spend morning, noon and night. You cannot overspend. You will always have a balance. Soon, try as you may, you may not be able to keep up with your balance. The more you spend, the more you have. Soon enough, you have a fortune that is out of sight! Dazzling! You will have broken boundaries. You will have burst forth from boundaries, for, beloveds, the boundaries have been within you, blocking your fortune. Now your fortune shines brightly. Now your fortune is like a bright sun shining in your heart.

What is a Warrior?

I see through different eyes.

I see a bigger picture when others see only grey skies.

Though many can’t conceive it,

I stand... facing the wind.

My bravery not from fighting,

but from my strength within,

I am a Warrior.

I will walk the extra mile,

Not because I have to,

Because it’s worth my while.

I know that I am different,

When I’m standing on a crowded street.

I know the fullness of winning;

I’ve tasted the cup of defeat.

I am a Warrior.

They say I walk with ease.

Though trained for bodily harm,

My intentions are for peace.

The world may come and go,

But a different path I’ll choose.

A path I will not stray from,

No matter... Win or Lose.

If you've been in the Martial Arts for a while, you'll find many people who would like to believe in the idea that just because they practice the Martial Arts, they are some kind of Warriors.(I like to call them Wannabee Warriors).

But what exactly is a Warrior? I mean, throughout history, there have been many different types of warriors, all having different Codes of Honor that they live by (And in case you're wondering, yes, there is a Warrior Creed that I follow and try to live up to also...) . But if you really try to define what a warrior is, there seems to be no one answer to that question. In fact, there seems to be many answers, almost as many answers as people you ask.

So, what I did was provide some links to some different websites about different warriors and types of warriors throughout history. Hell, I even posted links to web sites about Dan Millman and Carlos Castaneda for you "Spiritually Aware" types. Perhaps if you look through them, you'll find a good definition of a warrior for yourself...

And for you Wannabee Warriors out there... Some of the links I put up are to Law Enforcement & Military websites. If you really want to be warriors, Check out those links and become a police officer, or go join the armed forces. They need you!!!

FROM WIKIPEDIA, THE FREE ENCYCLOPEDIA: Silat is a collective word for indigenous martial arts of the Malay Archipelago and Malay Peninsula of Southeast Asia. Originally developed in what are now Indonesia, peninsular Malaysia, southern Thailand and Singapore, it was also traditionally practiced in Brunei, the Philippines, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Vietnam. As a result, it is closely related to other Southeast Asian martial arts including krabi krabong and eskrima. Practitioners are called pesilat. The Chinese fusion of silat is known as kuntao.

There are hundreds of different styles but they tend to focus either on strikes, joint manipulation, bladed weapons, throws, animal-based techniques, or some combination thereof. Silat is one of the sports included in the Southeast Asian Games and other region-wide competitions. Training halls are overseen by separate national organizations in each of the main countries the art is practiced. These are Ikatan Pesilat Indonesia (IPSI) from Indonesia, Persekutuan Silat Kebangsaan Malaysia (PESAKA) from Malaysia, Persekutuan Silat Brunei Darussalam (PERSIB) from Brunei and Persekutuan Silat Singapura (PERSISI) from Singapore.

Below, I added some links to various websites and video clips so you can get a better understanding of what Silat is about.

One of the gravest disservices we have done to the people of our world is to have provided them with a poor education. We do not teach students to think.

If you do not learn to effectively process information (and it is a learned skill) then you will always be at the mercy of people promoting their favorite dogmas.

The problem is, that all kinds of people would like you to uncritically believe what they are telling you about the way the world is. Many of them pretend that such uncritical belief is "faith", which it is not.

If you do not have the tools to discover what a given person or group is really trying to sell you, then you are libel to be making some really wacky presuppositions about the world, which will in turn become the heuristics by which you operate.

About half of what we perceive as "intelligence" is the ability to process information effectively, so if you want to be "smarter" then all you have to do is improve in that area.

While this is pretty simple, it is not necessarily easy. In my experience, most people are conditioned to a way of thinking already comfortable to the individual. When a person tries to change the way they process information they run a good chance of evoking a "threat response" from within themselves.

The wonderful thing about the internet is that you have access to so much useful information. If you're reading this, then you are able to self-educate on any number of subjects to a remarkable degree, and do it almost for free.

And that's what this section is about. I added some links here so anybody with a brain can study and learn to use it.

Remember 2 things people:

"I NOT ONLY HAVE THE RIGHT TO THINK AT ALL TIMES, BUT THE RESPONSIBILITY TO DO SO."

"IF I DON'T THINK FOR MYSELF, THEN SOMEBODY ELSE WILL DO IT FOR ME".

There are over 10,000 different religions in the world, 150 of which have at least 1 millions followers. Which one is the truth? "Christianity!" someone says, but even Christianity alone has over 38,000 different denominations. So which interpretation is the TRUE one?

Religion is not the anchor-point of truth. The truth always existed. Religion is man-made, meaning that the truth existed prior to both man and religion. Religion may be an effective catalyst for some individuals who desire to invest their minds into ideological association for whatever reason, but it is not a necessary nor a sufficient condition for a relationship with God, and understanding of the Creator, or the inner workings of the self.

Spirituality is not a belief. It is a state of consciousness, a mental framework with which you approach the world. Spirituality is in fact what birthed religion through the attempted organization of experience and wisdom, which ended up being the hierarchical stratification of various belief systems that we call religion.

Don't let the commitments you have to a religious belief system in your mind take you away from your natural state of Being with all things. You were a human before you learned religion. God's light existed in you before you learned this through some spiritual guru. Does this mean don't read or believe what Jesus of Buddha had to say? Of course not. Just make sure you take the time and effort to experience the rose instead of just believing in the accounts of others. This is not an attack on any religion by any means, and religion has brought many people happiness and the experience of being close to one's creator, but don't let it cause segregation away from our inherent unity.

As for my religious beliefs, well...

I'm a CHRISTIAN, in the sense that I believe that personal redemption is feasible for everyone and that universal love makes that salvation possible.

I'm a MUSLIM, in the sense that I believe that there's only 1 GOD, ans that all are equal under this one GOD. And, althought I'm not jewish, I do have a respect for JUDAISM.

I'm a BUDDHIST, in the sense that the seeds of enlightenment are within all of us as an integral part of our DNA, and that we are capable of reaching the Absolute through our own efforts.

I'm a HINDU, in the sense that I believe that GOD takes many shapes and forms to reach out to mankind.

I'm a TAOIST, in the sense that I have a total belief in the reality of Yin & Yang Energies.

And I also have a total belief in the world of spirits, and what we can learn from them, so I guess that makes me an ANIMIST.

I never want to tell someone what to think, for ones spirituality is a private matter between that person and their creator.

My goal here is only to show all of you the history and traditions of the many, many ways the people of the world have reached out to god.
