What Can We Learn From Tiger Woods' Troubles?

2010-05-09T09:41:00.001-07:00

"There was never a doubt that we live in a celebrity-driven culture," said Brown, a certified life coach and author of Choices, from Dog Ear Press (www.wgranvillebrown.com). "As Tiger gets ready to play in the Masters, his every move and word is already being scrutinized. One columnist found irony that Tiger is rebooting his career in Augusta at a country club that doesn't allow females to join as full members. Others are picking apart his short TV interviews. It all points to the fact that people still aren't comfortable with the choices he's made since his troubles became public, but we don't need to gang up on him. I think it would be more productive if we could take a lesson from his troubles and apply it to our own lives."

Brown believes that hidden in the forest of lurid interest in Tiger's issues is a nugget of personal truth awaiting us all. Temptation -- a big factor in Tiger's string of personal choices -- can be valuable, according to Brown, because of the potential lessons in how to avoid it.

"All of us, no matter how much we succeed in life or who we are, can still fall prey to temptation, lust, greed and having our faith and beliefs shaken - if not tumbled," he said. "But in the end, we are people of free will, not puppets, and no one can make us do anything we don't wish to do, as long as we have the faith in ourselves to persevere. We have to face the truth that we all live imperfect lives, and that our celebrity-driven culture has the notion that our idols, our celebrities, are supposed to embody the perfect lives we cannot ourselves achieve. This is why we are disappointed so often. Instead of taking that disappointment in sorrow, however, we seem to exhibit this almost sadistic glee when we experience it. This is because somehow we perceive that when the mighty fall, it somehow lifts up the rest of us. It doesn't. The only thing that can elevate our souls is within each of us, and it begins with our choices."

Brown explained that choices are inextricably packaged with either benefits or consequences, or some mixture of both.

"Human beings have the ability to make their own decisions, but one thing is very clear," he added. "With choice, there is also a measure of both accountability and responsibility. Too many times when we fail, we mask the result in excuses, trying to cast them as reasons for failure. The irony is that the films that elevate performers to celebrity status typically depict a classic hero's journey, where the adversity their characters face reveals the measure of their character. Life truly imitates art in that respect. A person's character isn't determined by how they conduct themselves when life is easy and comfortable, but rather, it is determined by how they conduct themselves when the solid fecal matter makes contact with the rotary air device. How we make use of our gifts, countering our liabilities against them - and find a way to survive the adversity - is how we discover the stuff we're made of."

Astrology in a Technologically-Driven World

2007-06-05T01:45:00.000-07:00

To Believe or Not To Believe? (Predicting the Past)

It all boils down to this one question. Fortune-telling, tarot card reading, astrology, horoscopes, numerology. They all ask us to invest in them something from inside ourselves: total faith and belief, because the slightest doubt will cancel everything out.

And in this world of ours where almost everything has a monetary equivalent, belief is a free luxury. It is easy to believe. It's not always to see is to believe. Sometimes, somethings must be believed to be seen. It's easy to believe; you just open your mind.

The hard part is standing by our beliefs and making them our own, and breathing life on them, till we are one and the same.

To believe doesn't mean resignation to fate. It doesn't mean just because we are Scorpios, or Arians, or Saggitarians, we must comply with whatever characteristics our star signs are supposed to carry. To believe is to explore what else is beyond. Stretch our limits, be more than just what has been allotted to us.

Humans are creatures who like to revel in their chosen beliefs. It's what separates us from animals: choice. We choose our beliefs, We hide our doubts. We obsess about the future.

Why do we want to know the future?

Humans are a curious species not contented with living in the present. We are time-travelers, gripped by our past, fascinated by the future. We want to make things right and prevent those that would go wrong.

It is all about control. To glimpse the future is power. Then, we wouldn't have to be helpless victims of bad weather, bloody wars, accidents and other mishaps. We may not successfully be able to radically alter the future, but at least we can manage it in our favor.

We need to be assuaged and appeased that our lives are purposeful, and have meaning. And the present moment is not enough to supply us all we need--after all, it is such a fleeting moment, readily gone, classified and shelved right away as the past the next day.

The past and the future is what we rely on, what we try to link, to be able to come to terms with ourselves.
Pyschics or Skeptics? (Remembering the Future)
Life is deliberately full of mysteries, not for us to rack our brain trying to solve every little equation, but for us to just sit back and relax and enjoy the little surprises that await us.

Even if that surprise is on the other side of the computer screen, blinking hard, hopeful. Indeed, technology is the unfailing medium in spreading oneness in all of us.

Instead of being hard-headed skeptics, let's open our minds and hearts to the possibilities of the future.

Are You Love Addicted?

2007-06-05T01:40:00.000-07:00

Imagine that you have a little child - a son or daughter, but that you are only 15 years old. How are you going to feel about this child? There is a good possibility that you will feel that this child is a burden, limiting your freedom. You will likely feel that the child is too demanding, needing too much from you. You may want to go out and have fun and not be tied down to this child.

Is this how you feel about your own inner child - your own feelings and needs? Does it feel burdensome to take loving care of yourself? Do you feel like your own feelings and needs are just too much to have to take care of? Do you feel like taking care of yourself is just hard? Do you believe it is selfish to take loving care of yourself? Do you wish someone else would come along and meet your emotional needs to feel loved, valued, and worthy?

If this is how you feel, it is because you have not yet done the inner work of developing a loving adult part of you - a part of you that is connected with a spiritual source of love, wisdom, strength, guidance and comfort. It is your adolescent self who is charge, and this part of you not only does not want the job of taking care of you, it is not adequate to handle the job.

This is what creates love addiction.

You have a little child inside you - your feeling self - who need lots of love, attention, comfort, valuing, validating, connection and compassion. When you have no desire to give this to yourself because you feel it is too hard, you feel too inadequate, you think it is selfish, or you believe that it is someone else's job to meet these needs, then you are abandoning yourself. If you believe that your best feelings come from someone else loving you instead of you loving you, then you are abandoning yourself. And when you abandon yourself, that little child in you is left to get the love he or she needs elsewhere.

When you abandon yourself because you have not learned how to take loving care of yourself or because you don't want the responsibility of your own feelings and needs, that is when you become needy of others love and attention. You learn many ways of trying to get the love, attention and compassion you need.

Think for a moment about what you do to get love, connection, attention, approval or compassion from others.

Do you try to be perfect - looking right, saying the right thing, being a high achiever? Do you try to be cute or funny? Do you try to show others how smart you are? Do you strive to have the best - the best house, the best car, the best wife or husband, the best children, the best clothing? Or, do you act helpless, incompetent, in need of rescuing? Do you pull on others with your complaining, your incessant talking, your whining, sulking, silence, or your bragging? Are you overly nice, a people-pleaser? Do you attempt to get the attention you want through intimidation - with anger, threats, blame, or violence?

When you have abandoned yourself and are love-addicted, you will have developed many ways of trying to have control over getting the love you need. That little child in you is desperate to be loved. The emptiness of the self-abandonment and the resulting longing for love leads you to behave in the very ways that end up pushing others away. It is a losing battle. IT WILL NEVER WORK. You will never get the love you need by trying to get others to give to you what only you can give to yourself.

If you are interested in learning how to give yourself the love you have always wanted and break your love-addiction, you can start by downloading our free Inner Bonding course. This 6-step course will begin to give you the tools you need to move out of love-addiction and into love.

Is There Something Missing In Your Life?

2007-06-05T01:36:00.000-07:00

As you begin to realize who you truly are right now you will begin to see just how much in love with your self you are.

You really do love yourself. It is primal.

The only thing missing is your realization of just who you are. You have misidentified and mistaken who you are with who you think you are.

You suffer that mistake big time. If the "spark" of desiring to come home to the heart has been lit inside of you - and for most folk this is not the case, even though everyone has this primal desire within them - then slowly slowly this "spark" will turn into a raging fire that will consume who you think you are.

As a seeker you think you are going to "attain" something. Instead you are going to lose all sense of who you think you are. The fire of the desire to come home to the heart will burn you up.

Who you think you are is going to die - because it is only a transient unreality, a falsehood. Currently you believe the unreal to be real and the real to be unreal. This is the nature of the illusion, it turns everything around 180 degrees. The appearance is not as it seems.

Your attachment to this world of your imagination - yes, it is entirely created by your own imagination, day by day - will unravel as you realize just who you are.

Every time that you dream - when asleep - you create another world of your imagination. You know what your dreams can be like and these are your own creation. Sometimes you fly in them, or go underwater without having to breathe, or are losing body limbs, or being chased, etc... You could be forgiven for believing how creative you can be.

Well, this world that you find yourself waking up in day in and day out also only exists because of your own imagination.
Now let the mouth of your mind wrap its laughing gear around that one!

Who you are is not who you think you are. As you "see and be" who you are - come to rest as this one - you will lose flavour in and with the games of your own imagination.

You will die to who you think you are and arise as the heart.

The Balance Of Sexuality – Discovering The Heart Together

2007-02-17T18:38:00.000-08:00

Sexuality is so hugely out of balance within humanity.

All males ever want to do is to have sex. Constantly.

Even 95 year old males hang out over the ideas of having sex - even if they cannot "get it up".

Females, on the other hand, could quite easily live without sex. A lot of what is currently going down is just the advertising of sex and this "sexual liberation" of females is nothing more than the "western male mind" conversion.

Love, or heart, has nothing to do with it. It is straight out "me and mine." What I can get for myself.

Basically, the female just wants to be loved - as does the male, of course.

If the female can feel loved without having to put up with the nonsense that males put out, then she will gladly do so. This is not to say that the female does not go to the head and have moments of wanting to just have sex - even the vibration of a washing machine will do in this kind of circumstance.

It is not about becoming celibate or any other tactic of suppression either.

It is about entering the heart - being the heart. Being the one that you already are in this very moment right now - that is love.

Naturally, if two intimates meet at the heart then an "explosion" of two hearts "meeting-beating" will flower. This is vastly different than wanting an orgasm to relieve yourself of all kinds of pent up and misguided energy because of the suffering of who you think you are.

After a few weeks of "falling in love" have transpired between a couple, it is in no time at all that the "gloss" of having "fallen in love" wears off, and the couple are left with the frustrations of who they think they are and its accompanying unhappiness, along with the attempt to hang onto and recreate the previous moments of pleasure that had just been experienced.

There is no escaping the prison of your own making.

Relationship is about loving an "other" and to continue growing with that "other" in love - in being.

Being who you are together.

Discovering self, the heart, together.

Secondary 800-Year Age of Adam

2007-01-29T06:40:00.001-08:00

Secondary 800-Year Age of Adam begins the secondary age category with the first 800-year Generation Cycle. Lunar/solar math in the Holy Bible had lunar/solar calendar origins from the three oldest sources: Jewish, Egyptian and Mesoamerican Calendars that support the Antediluvian Patriarchs Bible calendar. Some Mayan terms are the Katun, Baktun cycles, Tzolken and Tun parts of the Bible Antediluvian Patriarch calendar. Each Antediluvian Patriarch character in the lineage to Enoch reports time reckoning common to ancient civilizations. Time Emits defines a primary age category and a secondary age category in the lengthening Antediluvian Calendar.

Secondary 800-Year Age of Adam

The secondary 800-year Generation Cycle is the tool we need to resolve the genealogy following Adam. Genesis scriptures quote a primary age and a secondary age for each listed character from Adam to Noah. Collectively known as the Antediluvian Patriarchs, they have a primary age until fathering the next named character. Secondary ages measure time from fatherhood until death. Genesis 5:4 informs us that Adam lives for 800-years following the birth of Seth. Work at timeemits.com groups primary ages into one primary age category. The Antediluvian Calendar secondary age category starts with the first 800-year Generation Cycle. The secondary age category groups the secondary ages together. The secondary age category is total lunar/solar time, denoted here “l/s”, and includes all Patriarchs in consecutive order. Generation Cycles illustrate the wisdom of ancient minds.

Genesis 5:4

“And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years:
and he begat sons and daughters:”

Segments of 800-years increment the secondary age category at the end of every primary age division. Extending the ancient recordings expresses by repeating the secondary 800-year age of Adam for Seth and the remaining characters. A repeating 800-year Generation Cycle was included with the secondary age for each later descendant Patriarch. Antediluvian characters from Adam through Jared utilize 800-year Generation Cycles as part of their respective secondary ages. The 800-year Generation Cycle was a single unit of time. Components from lunar/solar calendar systems assemble the advanced 800-year Generation Cycle.

The begat genealogy following Adam lists a secondary age from the time of fathering the son, until the character’s death. The original 19-year-l/s-cycle of the Jewish Calendar modifies to become a 20-year-l/s-cycle regarding the Mesoamerican Calendars. Multiples of 20-year-l/s-cycles form the secondary age category. Each year in the 20-year-l/s-cycle was a 360-day-Tun-year. Mayan terminology employs the prefix “Ka” in the word Katun that describes one 20-year-Katun-cycle. Twenty multiples of the 20-year-Katun-cycle permits the Mayan prefix “Bak” to describe a 400-year-Baktun-cycle. Increments of 400-year-Baktun-cycles count the secondary ages for all characters in the Antediluvian Calendar.

Judeo-Christian history began with lunar/solar time reckoning concepts. Archaic evidence reveals that 800-year Generation Cycles were entrenched during the era of Adam and Eve. The time line establishes earliest Bible followers held acquired skills in astronomy, mathematics and communications. Actual observation through ancient eyes taught astronomers the 20-year lunar/solar cycle repeated the same heavenly sun, moon and star positions. The rational key to this calendar system accounts for precise fractions of degrees to the horizon, the phase of moon and gradual star locations. Lunar/solar time keeping order warrants a calendar system that later transferred to Mesoamerica either intact or in pieces. Located near Byblos and Ur, a small pocket of culture preserved the historical log in Genesis.

The calendar numbers found in the Holy Bible is, was, and ever shall be -- everlasting. The eternal domain belongs to God. Beginning with Adam (generic man) and Eve (sunset, Ĕrēve), the calendar is the human way to measure time and our precious treasure from the Bible. Message skills developed to permit transfer of the sacred calendar knowledge. The Word is the sanctuary for calendar material that began over 10,000 years ago. Genesis 5 holds the 800-year Generation Cycle legacy of the ancient past.

Calendar science highlights more awareness and esteem for early people than what is currently agreed. Primeval humanity wrote this calendar material in the familiar style common to their culture. Countless languages and interpretations preserve the sacred calendar numbers. From original Hebrew and Greek, through Old English and modern, we have the astonishing knowledge of distant past history. Beyond the sheer numbers and impressive calendar math, this Bible study describes absolute time reckoning in the sense prevalent back then. Our modern task is to adapt present understanding to reflect a people with extraordinary abilities.

Generation Cycles allow modern society to examine early scriptures based on original content meanings. Numeric remnants of the calendar and names attached to it constitute basic ingredients found with the Jewish, Egyptian and Mesoamerican Calendars of the Western Hemisphere. Manifest in mythology and religion, proto-historic gods and deities aided formulation of the calendar. The Antediluvian Calendar uses an agricultural 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year within every 365-day-solar-year and extends by repeating 800-year Generation Cycles. Three different calendars combine for a hybrid understanding of extremely remote bonds in history. All three above were major calendars of the ancient world and commence between 4,241 B.C.E. and 3,113 B.C.E. years. Entwined with the Egyptian mythology and Israelite folklore, Mesoamericans add their beliefs regarding this advanced form of the calendar. A pattern sequence emerges to span nearly 8,000-years of history prior to the Great Flood of Noah.

The first 400-year-Baktun-cycle begins the secondary age category. Mayan calendar architects integrated their base 20 numbering system for both days and years. Mere 20-year cycles brought the heavens to a very close arrangement compared to the original state. The 20-year-l/s-cycle required further calendar refinements. The 400-year-Baktun-cycle enhances lunar/solar timekeeping over 20 multiples of 20-year-l/s-cycles. Time squares from multiplying 20-year-l/s-cycles by 20-year-l/s-cycles. The 400-year-Baktun-cycle was a product of the Mayan Calendar and the comprehensive period to indicate 210-years of l/s separation time. The 400-year-Baktun-cycle doubles to get the secondary 800-year Generation Cycle age of Adam. The secondary 800-year age of Adam completes the first 800-year Generation Cycle. Later descendants of Adam continued to add 800-year Generation Cycle spans.

Mesoamerican Calendars employed a 52-year Calendar Round that used both the 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year and the 360-day-Tun-year. Working like meshed gears, 52-Haab-solar-years of 365-days each and 73-Tzolken-sacred-years having 260-days each pinpointed any calendar date. The 52-year Calendar Round is famous to archeology. After 18,980-days, the 52-year Calendar Round repeats. An intense ideology focused upon the Calendar Round preserved religious and social customs. The 52-year Calendar Round derives from the original calendar of Adam.

A 5200-year Great Cycle in the Mayan Calendar expands the 52-year Calendar Round a hundredfold. Concentric time shifts the reference from days to years. The scale multiple is exactly 100 times greater in the 5200-year Great Cycle versus the 52-year Calendar Round. The Long Count Initial Series and the Great Cycle are variations along the same theme. The Long Count was a popular way to synthesize calendar meanings in the mid-twentieth century. Mesoamerican chronologists point to the cyclic nature of Mayan Calendar time. A Great Cycle consisting of 5200-Haab-solar-years follows the same sequence of 13 different 400-year-Baktun-cycles as the Long Count.

Twelve consecutive 400-year-Baktun-cycles give rise to the presumed Mayan Creation date of 13.0.0.0.0. The Mayan Baktun numbers range from 1 to 13 in the Long Count Initial Series rather than 0 to 12. The Long Count is a number line, linear format developed for convenience. On the other hand, the Great Cycle presumes 12 Baktuns have already elapsed prior to 13.0.0.0.0. The Great Cycle repeats after 5200-Haab-solar-years or 7300-Tzolken-sacred-years, whereas the Long Count happens once.

Adam and his descendants accentuate a culture with outstanding perception and reasoning. Adam first identified a primary 130-year age, which was half of a 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle. Seth was the first masculine, solar-side time split written for two Mesoamerican 400-year-Baktun-cycles. The next l/s time split in the primary age category quarters the 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle to derive the primary 90-Tzolken-sacred-year age of Enos. At the end of the primary 90-Tzolken-sacred-year age of Enos, Cainan was born. The calendar system of halving, doubling and dividing time predicated most history.

Ancient theories of time reckoning divide the 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year and the 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle in half as a single term. The calendar applies numerical matching to obtain 130-days and 130-years in a single term also. The division of 210-days l/s separation time for a 20-year-l/s- cycle results in 105-days of solar-side time split. The calendar squares 20-years by multiplying a 20-year-l/s-cycle by itself. The resulting 400-year-Baktun-cycle numerically matches 210-years of l/s separation time and concludes with 105-years of solar-side time split.

Significant steps in the secondary age category occur for each 400-year-Baktun-cycle. The 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle in the primary age category halves for the primary 130-year age of Adam at the completion of the first 400-year-Baktun-cycle. Midpoint age levels in the secondary age category are the odd numbered 400-year-Baktun-cycles. Total secondary age category time is 400-l/s-years that coincide with the end of the primary 130-year age of Adam. The second 400-year-Baktun-cycle increments the secondary age category and achieves the first 800-year Generation Cycle for Adam. Total secondary age category time is 800-l/s-years and Adams’ 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle is complete. The third 400-year-Baktun-cycle equally halves 210-years of lunar/solar separation to get 105-years of solar-side time split. Total secondary age category time is 1200-l/s-years to mark the end of Seth’s primary 105-year age. A fourth 400-year-Baktun-cycle adds to Seth’s secondary age category. Seth’s secondary age category concludes 1,600-years l/s time.

The end of odd 400-year-Baktun-cycle multiples are the halfway point transitions that determine changes in the primary age category. For example, the first 400-year-Baktun-cycle ending signals the halfway division of the primary age 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle. The end of the second 400-year-Baktun-cycle also ends the first 800-year Generation Cycle for Adam. The beginning of Seth’s secondary age category starts, or “begets”, 105-years of solar-side time split in Seth’s primary age category. A third 400-year-Baktun-cycle ends the first half of 210-years l/s separation time, thus resulting in 105-years of solar-side time split. A pattern emerges to alternate divisions of the 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle with solar-side time splits in the primary age category.

Given by Genesis 5:6, Seth’s primary age at the time of fathering Enos is 105-years. The first 800-year Generation Cycle finishes the secondary age category for Adam at the end of two successive 400-year-Baktun-cycles. The secondary 807-year age of Seth uses the same method. Seth repeats the 800-year Generation Cycle for the second time. Seth’s primary age halves 210-years of separation time to show 105-years of solar-side time split instead of dividing the 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle. Divisions of the 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle alternate with successive solar-side time splits.

Letting Go Of Who You Are Not

2007-01-29T06:39:00.002-08:00

You are afraid to be the one that you already are. Your familiarity to who you think you are has you locked in fear from letting go and surrendering what you believe yourself to be - even though it serves up a consistency of pain and suffering.

You live in fear of your self, your heart, when you are not being who you are already. Who you are is sheer freedom. Freedom from who you are not - who you think you are.

What a freedom this is and you fear it - because of who you think you are. What a vicious wee circle that is going on here. *chuckling*.

Fortunately, who you think you are has no effect whatsoever on who you are. Self, the heart, simply outshines all of its "arisings." Who you think you are cannot replace who you are - ever.

You can do something about being who you are but it is unlikely that you will do so.

Why?

Because who you think you are has such a hold over you that you will not let it go to do what it takes to be who you already are. For the same reason that you are not living your unadulterated heart right now.

You fear letting go of who you think you are. You fear being impersonal.

You have many desires to fulfil - having failed to see how your desires have not delivered you of what you thought they would, you push for more. All the while, who you are - the heart, the self - is already here right now and you know it not.

If you realized who you already are you would understand that there is nothing that manifestation can offer you because who you are is that from which manifestation arises.

Yes. That means you already are the totality from which what you are desiring is sustained by, and yet you know it not.

You fear letting go of who you think you are because who you think you are tells you that you are a somebody, a someone, a separated person - you can be in control of your circumstance.

To be who you are leaves you being a "no one," a nobody. This "nothing" that you are is everything. Who you are is immensely rich.

Heart without obstruction is who you are.

Peace is you.

Who Am I? by Elysha

2007-01-29T06:39:00.001-08:00

Who Am I?

You cannot see your self - you can only see what you are not.

What you are is the very 'thing' that gives birth to all life, sustains that very life and then destroys that very life.

You are that which constitutes the energy that is forever arising.

It is beyond its own creation.

The creation comes and goes in cycles - all things pass away, seen and unseen, internal and external - they are transient, all of it is transient, everything except for the very energy (heart) that sustains it all.

You are not the transient.

You are that which is beyond the transient.

It never dies - it cannot - it does not - it just is.

This is what and who you are - the very substance that is totally alive and yet beyond its own manifestation.

If you buy into believing yourself to be that which passes away then pain and suffering are the inevitable result of that belief. That cannot be helped. It passes away. You do not. To put your eggs into the basket that is under the crusher is not a good idea. To get on the train that is heading to fly off of the cliff is going to bring you misery.

If you choose to put your energy into believing that you are something that you are not - what to do? Who is to blame? If you do not choose what is already true of you...

How to be what you already are? There is no 'how', there is only the being thereof.

To be that which you already are - to be that - requires your alignment, your choosing to be in the same moment that the backdrop of existence is arising.

The one energy, heart, that arises as all things which come and go, arises now.

It is you.

This is who you are.

What are you?

You are the heart that is arising in this very moment as all things. The same energy that is arising as your neighbour, brother, sister, mother, father, friend, enemy... is you. The energy that is arising as the walls of your room, the cigarette butt in the gutter, the gutter itself, the moon, sun and stars, the trees and rivers, the pesticides and poisons, the rainbows and butterflies, angels and devils, the white, black and blue brotherhoods... is you. In other words, everything. Everything. Absolutely everything, seen and unseen. All of manifestation is but a reflection of the living one - which happens to be you. This one is arising now. Right now. Right here. Actually so. Energetically so.

This is who you are.

To take the part to be the whole that you are, is going to result in pain and suffering. That simply cannot be helped. To seek to gain from the part what only the whole can deliver is only going to leave you in anguish.

Such is the way that it is - such is the way that it always was.

Talking about this great matter or thinking about this great matter is not going to cut the mustard.

Believing that you are the unmanifest itself is not going to have you home in the heart.

You must enter this very energy (heart) directly and then stay here.

This you can do. It is already true of you.

Nothing has the power to prevent you from coming home to the heart. Nothing.

The part has no power to prevent the whole.

You are already the heart. It is the unmanifest arising as itself through the manifest. It is true of you now. You can enter it (and enter it you must - thinking about it is not going to bring you into being it - no way, no can do).

It need not take a long time to energetically connect with your beingness.

Your desire to come home is all that is required. If your desire to come home to the heart is not strong then very little is going to change for you. You will settle for less. And less is what you already suffer.

If you still think that you can hang onto your belief in your head (or shmee) and be the heart as well then you still have some fundamental lessons to learn about how the part cannot be the whole. No matter how big the part appears it is still only the part. It was born and it will die, like all else and all else is transient.

Because you settle for less than what you already are you are left with the continual seeking for what only the heart can deliver.

The illusion cannot deliver what you are always looking for in the "great out-there" or in the "great in-there".

What you are has no beginning and no end. It is a continuity. That continuity is happening right now. You can enter this now and be this continuity. For that to actualise though, requires your surrendering what you have come to believe yourself to be. As simple as this is, it is very arduous from your normal mode of tendency.

What you are left with as you begin to align yourself to the heart.

Freedom.

The sheer pleasure of no longer trying - for anything. Always flowing from each moment with clarity to every arising circumstance.

The tremendous beauty of being the heart, informing your whole life. No rules, no regulations.

Seeing how this one that is you is also everyone and thing else. No doubt and no guilt. Endless clarity.

No fight, no problem. Constant depth of being home in the heart.

The continuity and exhaustlessness of being.

The freedom of the energy of what is beyond everything at all times (which is you) – forever.

Sounds boring? *chuckling* Only the head would think that - particularly when the heart is not entered.

The indescribable quality of being can only be pointed to and all of this is simply a pointer.

Want to come home?

You can.

Nothing is preventing you.

Peace.

Have Faith in Love Spells

So, you went into a bookstore and looked at the vast array of Love Spell books.
After finally ploughing through the many pages and becoming boss-eyed, you decided to go for what you think is an authentic looking book. You pay at the counter and rush home, feeling all excited.

It’s a quiet evening and you are alone with only the full moon shining through
your window. According to your love spells book, it is the perfect time to cast your love spell. You carefully follow the instructions and then you blow out the candle and go to bed.

A few weeks go by and nothing has happened. You double check the instructions of the love spell, and yes you have done it correctly. A couple of months go by and still there is no result. You give up and put the love spells book on the bottom shelf, vowing that it’s all a load of rubbish, and love spells don’t work!

Is this story familiar to you? So many of my clients go through this scenario and then they contact me for help. It is important to know the best results from love spells come from working with your spell maker who has years of knowledge, handed down to her through family generations, or who has undergone years of training with a witch.

When casting a love spell you must have a clear and focused mind to collect all the energy from the different tools we use, for e.g. your birth details, the planets as well as the moon phase, magick symbols, numbers, herbs & mind magick rituals, that are handed down and often sworn to secrecy. You certainly would never find them in a book in WH Smiths!

When all my work is completed I then use my own energy to channel the energy from the spell, to you and around you. This can be very tiring depending what the client wants from the spell.

Do take your time and check the credibility of the witch that you are interested in
doing the work for you. Has she written for magazines, books been on TV or Radio? Does she have a professional looking website?

As a white witch myself, it takes more than having a black cat, a wand and saying hocus pocus!! The films and TV would have us believe this, but believe me it’s just not true!
